Profile
Research & Publications
My research addresses technical and practical issues in educational measurement. I study content validation methods, which provide evidence to establish the meaning of an educational test’s scores. My current projects evaluate methods for measuring test-to-curriculum alignment, refining scoring rubrics, and quantifying the ‘instructional sensitivity’ of science test items. My other expertise and interest areas are latent variable modeling and quasi-experimental design. ** Prospective graduate students: Feel welcome to contact me about your interests, or apply directly.
