U.S. National Assessment Governing Board Quarterly Meeting/Webcast 17 November: “Thinking Beyond Borders: The Future of Student Assessment”
What are the current trends in international assessments and how can they inform us about U.S. testing and measurement? What are nations considering as they look toward the future? How will these trends connect to future National Assessment of Educational Progress (NEAP)?

Attendees will learn about current U.S. relationships with international assessments; emerging trends for PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), and PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study); and student assessment initiatives in Germany and China.
Panelists include:
- Peggy Carr (National Center for Education Statistics)
- Dirk Hastedt (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement)
- Andreas Schleicher (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
- William Schmidt (Michigan State University)
