Revision of The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (Joint Session With the National Council on Measurement in Education)

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

Under the auspices of the AERA-APA-NCME Standards Management Committee, the three organizations have begun taking the first steps in revising the 2014 edition of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing. The Standards reflect the three organization's shard guidance on testing on such issues as validity, reliability, and fairness in testing, and reflect the highest ideals and expectations regarding test development, administration, use, and interpretation. Launching a new edition is a project that demands the expertise and input of diverse experts and stakeholders. This session held under the auspices of the Management Committee is one essential step in clarifying the scope, focus, and issues essential for consideration in the next edition of the Standards. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions, concerns, and wisdom to this joint AERA-NCME session.
