PAST EVENTS
International Education Assessments Report Release and Panel Discussion
April 6, 2018
Keck Center of the National Academies
Washington, DC
Although there is widespread recognition that ILSAs can provide useful information, there is debate about what types of comparisons are the most meaningful and what could be done to assure more sound interpretations. To address these issues, the National Academy of Education (NAEd) assembled a Steering Committee to examine the future of ILSAs from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The committee held two workshops, commissioned a series of papers, and has produced a summary report.

The National Academy of Sciences Building

The National Academy of Education (NAEd) held a two-day workshop to address a fundamental tension faced by the education research community: how to balance the benefits of access to comprehensive (“big”) data with the potential risks to individual privacy and confidentiality. Our goal is to provide a basis for the development of policy options to promote quality education research while ensuring student privacy.

The committee held two workshops and will be producing a summary report, to be released in 2017.
