Description

The opt out movement is in full swing in the education space. From K-12 to admissions, critics are vocally urging leaders to forego standardized testing and their advocacy is seeing results. Today, more colleges and universities are test optional than at any time in the past. Does this foreshadow changes in the credentialing and licensure space? Is it possible that testing will become just one of several options individuals can use to demonstrate their qualifications for a job or profession? As we look to the future, how will verification of skills and knowledge will evolve - will apprenticeships and diploma privilege render testing obsolete? Or will the intersection of the worlds of academia and credentialing include more certifications as part of a course or degree requirement? And perhaps most importantly, are there steps we can take as testing professionals to make the path ahead one of sunshine and roses, rather than doom and gloom? Join seasoned professionals for a spirited debate on the future of testing. Explore these issues and leave with key considerations to help shape the journey ahead for the assessment industry. It’s a session you won’t want to miss!Teaching format, methods and strategies.: Combined debate and panel discussion.
