Student Voices: Making Assessment Matter
Submitted by George Knowles on
On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) held an event to launch Make Assessment Matter. The new study, which provides a comprehensive overview of the initiative, was conducted in cooperation with Grunwald Associates LLC. The work builds on previous NWEA evaluations of assessment perceptions from 2012, and for the first time, includes a focus on student input and voice. Matt Chapman, President and CEO of NWEA, provided an introduction to and background on NWEA’s work, and highlighted the importance of including student input in the survey.
