Washington, D.C. — In a recent research product series, the Center for American Progress examined how assessments in public schools can become effective instruments that help measure whether schools and educators are meeting student needs and educational goals.
On Thursday, October 14, please join the Center for American Progress as we continue the conversation around the future of testing in education. A panel of education experts and student advocates will hold a forward-thinking conversation that challenges current K-12 assessment policy and practice and presents fresh perspectives on the role of tests in schools and how assessments can be redesigned to meet the needs of all students and stakeholders.
If you have questions for our panel, please submit them on Twitter using the hashtag #FutureOfTesting or via email to [email protected].
