The Future of Cognitive Assessment: Theoretical Considerations, Academic Applications, and Contributions to Education Equity

Leading researcher, scholar, test developer, and author Dr. Kevin McGrew will receive the Alan S. Kaufman Excellence in Assessment Award for his pioneering scholarship.

Following Dr. McGrew, scholars Dr. LaTasha Holden with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Dr. Peng Peng with the University of Texas at Austin will lead two additional presentations.
