The Next Ten Years: The Future of Assessment Practice?

David Eubanks & Keston Fulcher - Response by RPA Associate Editor, Megan Good   |    Volume 16 Issue 1  |   

In these times of extraordinary change and hardship, there is perhaps no better time to consider how we as assessment professionals might reimagine our established practices. This is exactly what the RPA editors had in mind when we reached out to two visionary thinkers in the field with the following question: “If you are given unrestricted power to change assessment practice for the better over the next 10 years, what does assessment look like? What changes would you make over the next 10 years and why are those changes needed?” Both David Eubanks and Keston Fulcher responded to this prompt with thoughtful and telling insights into how we might improve assessment. While the two may disagree on some points, they both agree that we can do better. We invite you to explore their visions of the future of assessment along with an integrative response from RPA associate editor, Megan Good. We hope that these thoughts spur you to consider your own vision of assessment.

We also wish to note that this is purposefully an incomplete conversation. Research & Practice in Assessment is partnering with the IUPUI Assessment Institute to produce a podcast where David, Keston, and Megan will continue this engaging conversation about the future of assessment.
