Perspectives 2018: Assessment Validity Explored

Perspectives 2018 brought together assessment experts, regulators, educators, administrators, and practitioners to work through how the design and administration of assessments is integral to their validity. The speakers engaged our diverse group of attendees to discuss the purposes and practices of measuring competency, while thinking about innovations and potential challenges for the field in the future.
