I would have expected @ncme38.bsky.social to go with the lowercase \theta\hat hat and @pmetricsoc.bsky.social to go with the uppercase \Theta\hat hat, but either way, I appreciate IMPS throwing down the latent trait merch gauntlet! #NCME25 #IMPS25
NCME swag* is here! Following a board conversation last year, we have a modest selection (quality if pricey): bit.ly/ncmeswag I did my best to model at the fun run/walk (Size: L)! @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25
*Old coffee mug shown for contrast. Plushies not yet included. More on plushies next week!
My first News@NCME update as "Immediate Past President," reflecting on our eventful annual meeting. @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25
My NCME Presidential Address, which you can watch here, is probably the only one that begins with a visible 4-pack of beer, a hand-crocheted normal distribution (thank you, now-President Hendrickson), and the announcement of a happy hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDQx... @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25
Last Thursday, I visited the Joint NCME-AERAdivD Grad Student Reception to meet the future leaders of our field and support the networks that will sustain them.
@ncme38.bsky.social is proud to sponsor you and the methodological pluralism you represent. #NCME25 @aeraedresearch.bsky.social
The #NCME25 solution to "Conference Closeout Crowd Collapse"? We hosted a Presidential Closing Reception that kept 200+ engaged through the final sessions! This picture doesn't capture the crowd, but I know how many @ncme38.bsky.social plushies we gifted!

Teaser slide from my talk, asking "Does reporting on achievement gaps motivating closing them?" It shows a screenshots of a news report highlighting racial disparities for a local school district, from Quinn 2020 Experimental Effects of “Achievement Gap” News Reporting on Viewers’ Racial Stereotypes, Inequality Explanations, and Inequality Prioritization
Teaser slide from my talk, asking"Do school rankings help families find their way to better schools?" It shows a screenshot of a school ranking website.

Had a blast last week at @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25.
Felt a bit surreal presenting now that "equity" research is forbidden knowledge, but was great to see the measurement community engaging with this and the overwhelmingly positive feedback was reassuring.
Glad to be present at my first-ever NCME Fun Run/Walk! Proud of program co-chairs Katherine Castellano and Scott Monroe. Looking forward to seeing folks at the Informal Presidential Closing Reception, 4:30-6pm today! #NCME25 @ncme38.bsky.social
My #NCME25 Presidential Address is in the books! "Metaphors, Mantras, and Mnemonics: Communication Competencies in Educational Measurement." Now-President Amy Hendrickson provided a heartwarming introduction and gifted me a hand-crocheted distribution plushie. ❤️ @ncme38.bsky.social
NCME sues to protect measurement data and research. "The law requires not only data access but data quality. For 88 years, our organization has upheld standards for valid measurements and measurement research. We do so again today.” @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25 www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...
My annual preconference ritual: Printing my #NCME25 program! Yes, there might be errata, and the app is more up to date, but I still like taking notes. Get yours here! @ncme38.bsky.social www.ncme.org/event/annual...
NCME Awards are important signals of past, current, and future impact in measurement scholarship and practice. Congratulations to these worthy winners!
We look forward to celebrating your achievements with you and your nominators in Denver next Friday morning at #NCME25 @ncme38.bsky.social
The generosity of the NCME community has enabled us to broaden travel support to all presenting NCME graduate students. In challenging times, we are investing in the future of our field. #NCME25 @ncme38.bsky.social www.ncme.org/blogs/ncme-h...
The @ncme38.bsky.social board has taken additional action to ensure affected members can present their excellent work at our #NCME25 annual meeting in Denver.
I am so proud to be a member of this excellent board and a community that keeps asking, "how can I help my colleagues and my field?"
My monthly message. When NCME member response to cuts to our field is, "how can I help my colleagues," and "I'll see you there," you know you're part of a strong community. I hope to see you all in Denver in April. Let us know if we can help you to be there. @ncme38.bsky.social #NCME25
NCME is proud to offer this additional flexibility for all our members, especially those affected by ongoing uncertainty due to executive actions. Early bird rates are extended through 3/10. See our previous message about flexibility here: www.ncme.org/blogs/nathan...

As someone who has been to a number of @andrewdeanho.bsky.social parties, can confirm that if you're in the #NCME25 community, you should stay for the talks and attend this reception!
#NCME25 is Thursday-Saturday* this year, and some of our best talks will be that last afternoon. To honor presenters and folks who stay, I will host an Informal Presidential Closing Reception with an exclusive gift. Please book your travel and accommodations accordingly!
