Organizational Leadership for Measurement Experts

Session Type: Training Session

Abstract

Participants in this training course will learn to identify the skills needed to function effectively as an organizational leader, learn from the real-world experience of measurement professionals who have been effective in leadership roles, and have the opportunity to reflect upon and explore their own interests and skills. Open to all but specifically intended to address the interests of early and mid-career professionals who are engaged in or contemplating organizational leadership roles, individuals from all backgrounds, including those from groups traditionally under-represented in leadership roles, are highly encouraged to participate. The facilitators have both rigorous scientific training and extensive organizational leadership experience. Leveraging NCME’s Foundational Competencies in Educational Measurement, dimensions of effective leadership are presented and discussed broadly, informed by real-world experience from within testing organizations and higher education contexts. The training session will be interactive, affording opportunities for self-reflection, small-group activities, and large-group discussions.
