    HISTORY

    In 2016, the NCME President Mark Wilson initiated a task force focused on classroom assessment. This task force was initially led by Kristen Huff (Curriculum Associates) and Dale Whittington (Shaker Heights City School District). The task force became a permanent NCME Committee in 2020 with the leadership of co-chairs Alison Bailey (University of California, Los Angeles) and Caroline Wylie (Center for Assessment; ETS).
