Inclusion and Accessibility in Educational Assessment Business Meeting and Reception (SIG 96)

Session Type: Business Meeting

Abstract

Join us for an engaging SIG-96 Business Meeting as we celebrate progress and explore new directions in assessment. Featured speaker Dr. Mary Cochran will present her Compassionate Assessment Framework, a transformative model that rehumanizes the educational experience by centering trust, student voice, and meaningful learning. Her work challenges us to view assessment as something we do with students, not to them - building connection, reflection, and growth along the way. We’ll also honor our Best Paper Award recipient, whose research exemplifies innovative, inclusive approaches to assessment aligned with this year’s conference theme, Unforgetting Histories and Imagining Futures. Whether you’re a long-time member or new to our community, come connect, share insights, and help shape the future of compassionate assessment.
