Plan to attend the 5th NCME Special Conference on Classroom Assessment in person this year on September 19-20, 2024 at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, IL. The conference theme is “Reclaiming the Promise of Balanced Assessment Systems: Achieving Deeper Learning at Scale for Both Students and Adults.”
In 2016, the NCME President Mark Wilson initiated a task force focused on classroom assessment. This task force was initially led by Kristen Huff (Curriculum Associates) and Dale Whittington (Shaker Heights City School District).
Members of this committee and friends of the committee have voluntarily given their time to engage in the following work in the past years:
Initiated multiple, high-quality, classroom assessment conferences and webinars.
Provided resources for teachers:
Formative Assessment for Classroom Teachers is a resource curated by Heidi Andrade and Susan Brookhart that provides teachers with formative assessment materials that can be plugged into any curriculum and instruction.
2020 and 2022 NCME pre-conference professional development with local educators.
Celebrated permanent NCME Committee in 2020 with the leadership of co-chairs Alison Bailey (University of California, Los Angeles) and Caroline Wylie (Center for Assessment; ETS).
Supported the 2020 publication of the edited volume “Classroom Assessment and Educational Measurement,” edited by Susan Brookhart and James McMillan.
Supported special issues in the 2019 Journal of Educational Measurement special issue on classroom assessment, volume 56, issue 4, which published selected papers from the first NCME Classroom Assessment conference
