How should we interpret and use test scores? I'm delighted to chat with my colleagues and undergraduates at Wellesley today and tell a story in three acts: 1) a telescope, 2) a sword, 3) a compass. Thanks to Calvin Cochran and the Quantitative Reasoning program for inviting me!

Promotional poster for a Wellesley College talk in the Quantitative Reasoning & Education series. The title is ‘Beyond the Test Score: Making Sense of Educational Statistics,’ featuring Andrew Ho, Harvard Graduate School of Education. The poster says the talk will examine predictable fallacies in quantitative reasoning about educational testing and measurement, using examples involving test scores and statistical communication. It describes the presentation as a three-part story and lists the date and location as Thursday, October 15, 5:00 p.m., Knapp Atrium, Pendleton East. The event is open to the public and sponsored by the Quantitative Reasoning program, with support from the Wellesley College Department of Education.

There is an NCME plushie in the House of the Academy. This weekend, I was inducted into @americanacad and found my acceptance letter on display. As I say, I am grateful for all in measurement who, "not only sort but serve, not only estimate but elevate." @NCME38

NCME's AI in Measurement in Education (AIME-Con) is next week in Pittsburgh, sold-out a second year running. It's a program packed with new research, methods, frameworks, and commitments. This all feels urgent. I'm looking forward to learning.

I'm matching donations to the NCME Endowment dollar for dollar this month, to support measurement excellence in a manner that endures. Other NCME presidents will follow me each month through the new year. Here is my encouragement and my reflection. ncme.org/ncme-endowment… @NCME38
