The FairTest/bravEd Measuring What Matters Seminar Series

Transform Accountability & Assessment into Powerful Tools for Educators

bravEd and FairTest are excited to announce a groundbreaking collaboration—combining the best of what both organizations do into a single, powerful seminar series. By the end of this series, you’ll see accountability and testing not as burdens, but as essential tools that empower your work as an educator.

Why This Matters

For too long, school accountability has been based on flawed measures that fail to reflect real teaching and learning. bravEd, led by John Tanner, is the nation’s leading expert in helping school leaders account for what truly matters. FairTest, led by Harry Feder, has been the strongest advocate for meaningful assessments that genuinely support student learning. Together, we’re leading the charge for accountability done right, and based on what actually matters to students, educators, and communities.

What You’ll Gain

This 6-part virtual series will introduce you to transformative approaches in both accountability and assessment—strategies that are effective, immediately applicable, and  can be implemented at the local level regardless of current federal and state policy. You’ll walk away with actionable insights that allow you to take control of accountability and assessment in your schools.

Seminar Topics:

  1. Accountability Across Professions – What can we learn from other professions to improve educational accountability?
  2. Assessment That Matters – What makes an assessment truly reflect teaching and learning?
  3. Overcoming Barriers – How do you implement meaningful accountability despite obstacles or opposition?
  4. Measuring Performance – How do you design assessments that capture real student learning?
  5. Navigating State Requirements – How do you uphold effective teaching and learning when state policies send mixed messages?

Program Details:

✅ Cost: $595 per participant (team discounts available!)
✅ Start Date: April 30th (six consecutive weeks)
✅ Format: 90-minute virtual sessions (recordings available)
