Advancing Assessment and Evaluation Conference (AAEC) 2022
January 27–28, 2022 | 11–3:30pm ET
Conference Proceedings now available!ETS Canada's mission is to advance quality and equity in education for all people worldwide, with a particular focus in Canada. The Queen’s University Assessment and Evaluation Group (AEG) leverages a collaborative approach to scholarship to engage in innovative research with the goal of contributing to new knowledge in assessment, evaluation, and knowledge mobilization. With both these missions in mind, ETS Canada and Queen’s University AEG have come together to organize a FREE virtual conference to promote partnerships and community across sectors (industry, academia, school districts) to spur innovation in assessment and education in Canada. There are four themes to the conference:
- Advancing Assessment and Evaluation to facilitate learning in critical contexts
- Advancing Assessment and Evaluation by leveraging technology
- Advancing Assessment and Evaluation to promote equity and fairness
- Advancing Assessment and Evaluation to promote language learning
Organizers: Katrina Carbone & Saad Chahine from Queen’s University and Liane Patsula from ETS Canada
