Let’s Measure What We Value | Reimagining Assessments | Prof. James Tognolini

Описание: Are we measuring what truly matters in education or just what’s easy to score?

In this powerful lecture from the 29th Educational Leadership Forum (ELF), world-renowned assessment expert Prof. James Tognolini challenges outdated assessment systems and introduces a transformative framework for measuring values, skills, and capabilities that matter most.

Inspired by Lee Cronbach’s classic statement, “If it exists, it exists in some amount. If it exists in some amount, it can be measured”, this session explores how modern measurement theory can help us build authentic, values-aligned rubrics in education.

What You'll Learn?
1. How to design rubrics that assess critical thinking, engagement, and cultural competence?
2. A 4-step framework for building robust measurement tools.
3. How are real-world systems (like the NSW HSC and University of Sydney) transforming assessment?
4. Why educational rubrics must move beyond test scores to capture growth, agency, and authentic learning
