Reimagining Research Together: New Measures for new Models
Description:
As systems implement innovative learning models, they face a unique challenge: how do they know if it “works”? While policymakers and funders continue to require traditional assessments, researchers recognize that these approaches are insufficient for evaluating new learning environments, resulting in a square peg in a round hole paradox. This panel of researchers will share knowledge, insights, and strategies for understanding and measuring student learning within innovative learning environments that may not be time-bound, in-person, or directly related to discrete academic outcomes.
