ISEE and the Importance of Understanding Validity

How do we know that ISEE is a valid measure of school success? What do ISEE scores really mean in the context of a student’s application and why do they matter? In this session we will:

• Explain what validity is, why it’s important, and how validity is the joint-responsibility of the test creator and test user.
  

• Provide examples of validity research conducted on the ISEE and how you can replicate this research at your own school.
  

• Cover the important role that anti-bias test development processes play in increasing test validity.
