ALT Promotional poster for a Wellesley College talk in the Quantitative Reasoning & Education series. The title is ‘Beyond the Test Score: Making Sense of Educational Statistics,’ featuring Andrew Ho, Harvard Graduate School of Education. The poster says the talk will examine predictable fallacies in quantitative reasoning about educational testing and measurement, using examples involving test scores and statistical communication. It describes the presentation as a three-part story and lists the date and location as Thursday, October 15, 5:00 p.m., Knapp Atrium, Pendleton East. The event is open to the public and sponsored by the Quantitative Reasoning program, with support from the Wellesley College Department of Education.

It describes the endowment as a permanent fund supporting measurement excellence and integrity for future generations. The page includes a portrait of Andrew Ho beside the NCME logo and a reflection explaining his decision to launch the matching challenge and support the endowment.

ALT Chart titled ‘Figure 1. NAEP equivalent scores of state grade 4 reading standards for proficient performance, by state: 2022.’ Each state is shown as a blue dot with yellow error bars (±2 standard errors), ordered from lowest to highest NAEP-equivalent cut score. A shaded band marks the NAEP achievement levels, labeled NAEP Basic (208) near the bottom and NAEP Proficient (238) near the top. States, or groups of them like ‘SBAC’, are labeled throughout. The plot shows wide variation across states, from the lowest scores on the left to the highest on the right.
