Timely and incredibly valuable session for anyone who trains, supports, or otherwise interacts with ed measurement professionals. Check out the video if you missed it. I'm looking forward to continuing the discussion in Chicago #NCME23#AERA23
ICYMI, a video of our @NCME38 "Foundational Competencies" debate is here: vimeo.com/813353574.
See you for Part 2 of the debate, focusing on the conceptual framework, at 8am in Chicago on 4/15, with @HamiltonLauraS, Alison Cheng, and David Torres Irribarra. #NCME23#AERA23
Making a rare visit to Twitter to let folks know about several open positions at @AIRInforms for research and technical assistance in our Human Services division. If you share our commitment to generating and using evidence to improve lives, see air.org/build-career-air
"Academic learning is inherently social and emotional, and integrating all those aspects can effectively promote whole-child development."
But, the panel we convened @caselorg@UrbanAssembly@vupeabody@CurryEdu noted this is rarely happening w intention/coordination.
How can we help students with #SEL? Our expert panel has 3 recs from new research:
1️⃣embrace tech advances
2️⃣look past turf wars
3️⃣build systems to respond to urgent student emotional needs.

Thanks for the shout-out, @FutureEdGU! I've been off Twitter for a bit but wanted to take a moment to thank my new @AIRInforms colleagues for their warm welcome. I'm looking forward to some great collaborations. I'll continue to follow the work of the excellent @ETSresearch team
Interested in a career in policy research? Check out this terrific thread about @RANDCorporation. I agree with everything @MelanieZaber wrote and continue to be grateful for my 23 (!) years there.
PhD students often ask me about the culture at RAND--how is it different from academia, other think tanks, and industry?
Caveating that I've only interviewed at these other places...my assessment, triangulated with colleagues:
Agree, results are concerning and point to a need to clarify what "civic education" means & who is responsible for teaching it. (also, great example of the value of @RANDCorporation's American Educator Panels for highlighting teachers' perspectives @mkdiliberti @juliahkaufman)
Important thread by top HS government teacher and @GovBoard member, @plkelly27. Patrick, I was shocked by the 25% number too. It's as if only 25% of biology teachers thought it was important to teach natural selection. Oh, wait...😢
Visited my daughter & friends at @EmoryUniversity's family weekend and was inspired by students' enthusiasm for the upcoming election. Some thoughts about how education can support #civic engagement among young people @ETSresearch: ets.org/content/ets-org/lang…
This is a terrific opportunity to work with wonderful colleagues and to contribute to NAEP (see @AndrewDeanHo's recent thread about why NAEP is so important)! Undergrads and grad students - check out the info below. @ETSresearch

Fabulous opportunity for grad students who want to experience life at a policy research org. I started my career in policy research as a @RANDcorporation summer associate, and I can't think of a better introduction to the field. Check it out!
As the director of the @RANDCorporation's Summer Associate Program, I'm excited to invite all doctoral students interested in affecting change through policy research to APPLY TODAY. I look forward to getting to know all of you. Deadline: Dec 1 rand.org/jobs/summer-associa…
Congratulations to @drchriscp, the newest recipient of the Joseph A. Zins Award @caseorg! Chris is an incredible scholar and a powerful voice for children. Thank you for your invaluable contributions and for being such an effective advocate for kids, Chris!
Proud of our @YaleEmotion, @drchriscip who was just awarded the Joseph E. Zins Award for her contributions to SEL research at the @caselorg conference. Chris’s research focuses on ensuring children with marginalized identities succeed in school & life! @rulerapproach@YaleCSC
So glad you could join us, @_AmitSevak! We had a great time sharing the work of the ETS Research Centers, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with this phenomenal team @ETSresearch (seeing colleagues in person was a nice bonus!)
I stopped by our Innovative Showcase today and couldn't be prouder of our @ETSresearch team and all of their incredible work this year. #ETSResearch#Innovation
This special issue of the Educational Assessment journal on the "Twin Pandemics" of covid and racial injustice is filled with terrific articles. Honored to have the opportunity to contribute a piece on #civics with @juliahkaufmantandfonline.com/toc/heda20/2…@ETSresearch
"In other sectors leaders are obsessed w gathering data from users & processes to get better at what they do..
Now especially, states districts schools & classrooms should be hoovering up data—in real time—to get kids back on track.
With @ChadAldeman:

Really appreciated the great conversation at this meeting. Thank you, @_AmitSevak, for your leadership on this important issue, and thanks to @ctzns_schlrs and @gwGSEHD for partnering with @ETSInsights. Looking forward to continued collaboration to promote civic learning for all.
Excited to bring together some great minds at @GWtweets today to discuss how we can provide access to effective, unbiased #civiseducation at all levels: K-12, higher education and the workforce.
Public schools play a crucial role in promoting civic learning and engagement. This report presents some valuable data on how teachers are approaching civics.
