The most valuable skills are often the hardest to measure. Why? 👇

Assessing durable skills like critical thinking, creativity, and communication has long been deemed impossible. But we’re changing that! 🚀

Innovation at the ETS Research Institute is paving the way for fair and valid skill assessments. Here’s how we’re tackling this monumental challenge:

First, we created clear definitions of the measurable and quantifiable aspects that make up skills for the future. As an example, let’s look at Critical Thinking, Some of these measurable aspects include:

📊 Understanding, managing, and analyzing information and arguments
🧐 Recognizing and evaluating assumptions
🔍 Identifying patterns and making sound inferences
🧠 Constructing knowledge
📚 Drawing evidence-based conclusions

Discover our full plan in the report “A New Vision For Skills-Based Assessment” (linked in the comments) to see the roadmap for making durable skills assessment a reality for all.

National Support Public Education Day is the perfect time to explore how we can make a difference!

For us, fair and valid assessment is key to empowering schools, teachers and students. Accurate measurement promotes greater equity in education, a central part of our mission.

In our recent partnership with @CDE, we developed a new model to measure student growth across California. By using a weighted average, we improved the stability and accuracy of growth scores, reducing disparities across schools and districts. This fairer measure provides more accurate data over shorter periods.

With this knowledge, schools and governments can learn from the best and focus efforts where they are needed most to support students effectively.

Assessment can power human progress and enhance educational and work outcomes. It’s crucial that organizations and institutions collaborate to support equity and access to quality public education, ensuring that education remains a passport to freedom for all.
