Center for Assessment and WestEd
Conference Overview
The 2010 Reidy Interactive Lecture Series will focus on the challenges of challenges of conducting appropriate technical evaluations of next generation assessment system. Current psychometric and technical approaches were designed largely to evaluate standardized summative assessments. Applying these techniques and criteria to a mix of assessment types, especially those that include significant amount of performance tasks and innovative item types, will likely under-represent the quality of these assessment systems. The speakers at this year’s RILS will outline these challenges—focused around validity, reliability, and utility—and offer practical approaches for addressing technical evaluations of next generation comprehensive assessment systems.
