IMBES is hosting the launch of the National Testing SurveyThe NTS asks stakeholders what standardized testing is doing for teachers and students in the United States—and what they think testing ought to do for teachers and students. The official launch event will take place on Thursday, May 28th, just before the IMBES conference. To learn more, see the program or visit the NTS site.
