I am pleased to announce that Gregory Cizek, Ph.D. will be our featured speaker at the upcoming Test Validity Research and Evaluation SIG Business Meeting at the 2022 AERA Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.
In his presentation and discussion titled, "Tugging on Superman’s Cape," Dr. Cizek will discuss the influential view of validity as a unitary concept and a growing consensus regarding the challenges of requiring a singular synthesis of evidence involving meaning and use. He will focus on components of defensible testing practice including sources of evidence and standards for supporting conclusions about test score meaning, and sources of evidence and standards for supporting conclusions about the justifiable uses of test scores. Dr. Cizek will also discuss proposed next steps for moving the practice of validation forward.
Chair, Angel Arias, Ph.D.
