Educational Testing and Assessment: Potentials and Pitfalls
18 Sep 2018 5:15 PM
Professor Don Klinger, Dean of Te Kura Toi Tangata Faculty of Education
Alongside this work, Professor Klinger has had extensive experience setting assessment guidelines, including chairing the task-force that set USA Classroom Assessment Standards, and his expertise has been called upon to examine the methods used to evaluate medical students and other professionals. Most recently he has been working In Tanzania, where it’s not uncommon for schools to have up to 200 children in a single class. He worked with educators to help teachers there develop and align their formative assessment and teaching. The result was a set of Assessment Guidelines with 100,000 copies printed for distribution across East Africa.
