Fan, Jason; Frost, Kellie; Jin, Yan – Language Testing, 2022
Accompanying the still pervasive influence of the College English Test (CET), some universities in China, especially the higher-ranking ones, have in recent years devised and implemented their own local English testing regimes.

Raudonyte, Ieva – UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning, 2021
Although the number of countries conducting large-scale assessments has increased significantly over the past two decades, this has not necessarily led to the effective use of learning assessment data in policy-making and planning. To better understand the reasons for this, the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP)…

Lake, Robin; Worthen, Maria – Center on Reinventing Public Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the U.S. education system in both immediate and long-term ways, calling into question how K-12 accountability will function in the 2020-21 school year and well into the future.

Raudonyte, Ieva – UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning, 2021
Large-scale learning assessments can be used to generate performance and contextual data on student learning outcomes.

In this article, I propose a framework for comprehensive test security systems: prevention, detection, investigation, and resolution. The article discusses threats to test security, roles and responsibilities, rigorous…

Atteberry, Allison; Mangan, Daniel – Educational Researcher, 2020
Papay (2011) noticed that teacher value-added measures (VAMs) from a statistical model using the most common pre/post testing timeframe--current-year spring relative to previous spring (SS)--are essentially unrelated to those same teachers' VAMs when instead using next-fall relative to current-fall (FF). This is concerning since this choice--made…

Public School Forum of North Carolina, 2019
Public schools have, for generations, played a critical role in the lives of the vast majority of North Carolinians-they are ingrained into the fabric of identity as a state. Many of the issues in the Top Ten highlight where the erosion of the historic commitment to public schools for the public good is seen. The Public School Forum of North…

Baird, Jo-Anne; Gray, Lena – Oxford Review of Education, 2016

Broader conceptualisations of examination standards have been discussed in the literature in England,…

Liyanage, Indika; Singh, Parlo; Walker, Tony – International Journal of Pedagogies and Learning, 2016
Enactment of policy on diversity and learning in Australian schools is evident in "diversity talk" in daily discourses of school teachers.

The categorization of students to groups on…
