Fantastic reporting…education has always “belonged to the states.” The federal DOE plays an important role in supporting our country’s education system. Eduction research and statistics is a really important one.

What's a TAC? Our new @NCME38 initiative honors the service of 150+ experts who advise state testing programs. Together, they advance validity, precision, and fairness.

We hope this list increases awareness of the role, the community, and the pipeline.

@AndrewDeanHo @NCME38 Bingo from our most recent meetings. 😂

I finally did it. Here is my TAC Bingo Card: https://t.co/I9ooydME4m
It may help folks anticipate & understand my most common requests & recommendations. It will also encourage me to learn new things and avoid becoming predictable.
I bet a round of drinks will be on me. @NCME38

134 districts ≥ 90%

Please check out this paper that makes the case for high-quality state testing and why it remains essential even if the Department of Education's role is diminished. Also, I urge folks to sign up for the free Webinar on April 2. https://t.co/16AMhA2m97

What does the U.S. Department of Education do? It performs some pretty critical functions, which are designed to support access to a quality and equitable education - for all students.
