Ep. 36 - Assessment Luminary, Maria Hamdani, Center for Measurement Justice
Maria Hamdani, Vice President of Assessment and Research at the Center for Measurement Justice, joins John Kleeman to discuss the role of assessments in promoting equity and justice in education and employment. She shares her insights on how assessments can be designed and administered in a way that is fair and unbiased, and how they can be used to identify and address systemic barriers to educational and professional success.
Maria highlights the importance of including diverse perspectives and voices in the development of assessments, and the need to continuously review and update them to ensure they remain relevant and effective. She also discusses the challenges of balancing the need for standardization and consistency in assessments with the need to accommodate individual differences and contextual factors.
Maria emphasizes the critical role that assessments can play in advancing social justice and equity, particularly in the context of medical education and licensure, and encourages educators and employers to embrace a holistic and collaborative approach to assessment design and implementation, one that is grounded in principles of fairness, transparency, and inclusivity.
