What’s New at the Center for Assessment, Design, Research and Evaluation
Greetings Friends and Colleagues!
We’re delighted to launch the bi-annual CADRE newsletter with updates aimed at highlighting our work in educational assessment, evaluation and accountability.
CADRErepresents a small team of faculty partners, practitioners and graduate researchers from the Research & Evaluation Methodology program at the University of Colorado Boulder School of Education. Our center aims to produce generalizable knowledge to assess and improve student learning, and to evaluate programs and methods that may have a meaningful effect on this learning. CADRE’s work directly contributes to the School of Education’s commitment to use evidence-based policy and practice in advancing democracy, diversity, equity and justice in schools and communities.
Our team benefits from the expertise and collaborations we have with our faculty affiliates, local and national organizations, schools, districts, and higher education partners. In each newsletter, we will feature a specific topic, project or event, provide highlights of our work through select project profiles, and showcase recently released publications and reports.
