Heading to #NCME this April? If you work with psychometric models and are looking for more flexible ways to build them, we'd love for you to join our workshop.

Loads of AI and test security talks at #NCME - the latter being something I don't see so much of at language testing conferences.

Had a great time presenting our work on LLM-based item difficulty estimation at #NCME .
If you’re in Denver and would like to discuss measurement research or just catchup in the next couple of days, let me know 😊

At the #NCME and #AERA2025 conferences, former NCES staff are receiving significant recognition. Our goal is to establish connections between #AgoraEd, a platform for former NCES staffers, and contracts. We have a particular interest in NCES Data Preservation.

Honored to receive the #NCME Annual Award for Exceptional Achievement in Educational Measurement this year.

Estimating Item Difficulty Using Large Language Models and Tree-Based Machine Learning Algorithms Estimating item difficulty through field-testing is often resource-intensive and time-consuming. As such, there is strong motivation to develop methods that can predict item difficulty at scale using ...

If you're interested in learning more and plan to attend the #NCME conference in Denver next week, we’d love to see you at our coordinated paper session, “Approaches to Optimizing a Personalized Learning System,” on Friday, April 25, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. (🧵9/9)

Pricing Membership offers the best value and most perks, but we also offer day passes so you can come see our gyms and get to know us before joining.

Any #NCME #climbers? Found this gym close to the NCME Hotel - www.thespotgym.com

See you in Denver.

So,our paper on #AI & #translation was accepted @ #CIES. Our Session "Good psychometrics for whom? Opportunities and challenges in LMICs" was accepted @ #NCME. And I will be co-convenor for #UKFIET for #Climate & #Environmental Justice. Happy to collaborate with wonderful colleagues; exciting 2025.

Resharing my starter pack on K12+ measurement testing and assessment for my new followers. Let me know who I missed. This one is small but mighty #EduSky #PsychSky #NCME @aeraedresearch.bsky.social @edusky.bsky.social @academic-chatter.bsky.social go.bsky.app/DW9LoQa

New Framework for Universal Design | Center for Assessment Existing frameworks for universal design aren't quite right for educational assessment, so we teamed up and designed a new one.

If you are at #AERA or #NCME, Meagan Karvonen and I will present a new framework for universal design for assessment. I wrote a bit about why the current frameworks don’t apply to testing here & introduce our ideas. Anyone have ideas of journals to publish a framework? www.nciea.org/blog/univers...
