What We’re Watching: Common Core Assessments

On Wednesday, Oct. 30, the Brown Center on Education Policy at Brookings will release “Standardized Testing and the Common Core Standards — You Get What You Pay For?” and present the report’s findings at a panel discussion at 10:00 am that will be webcast.

The report critically examines both the cost and quality aspects of the assessment choices states will face in the coming months and years.

The panel will include the report’s author, Matthew M. Chingos, panel moderator Grover J. “Russ” Whitehurst, Former Commissioner of Education Eric Smith, and Senior Fellow on Governance Studies at the Brown Center, Tom Loveless.

Ed Next will be live-tweeting the event!
