Abstract

Abstract: COVID‐19 is disrupting assessment practices and accelerating changes. With special focus on K‐12 and credentialing exams, this article describes the series of changes observed during the pandemic, the solutions assessment providers have implemented, and the long‐term impact on future practices. Additionally, this article highlights the importance of the balanced assessment system, the use of assessments both for learning and of learning, and using assessments to support for social justice, equity and inclusion. These desired uses and outcomes will continue to challenge assessment and measurement experts on how they design, develop, and implement assessments moving forward.
