| Authors: | William G Harris |
| Institution: | Association of Test Publishers |
| Abstract: | Some of the challenges that test publishers face in constructing educational assessments that meet high technical quality as prescribed in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing ( AERA, APA, NCME, 1999 ) are examined. Federal educational initiatives are used to illustrate demands on technical quality that challenge the efforts of test publishers to adhere to the Standards . Possible pitfalls to avoid when updating the Standards are also discussed. |
