[Reading-hall-of-fame] Thought you might be interested in this symposium

[P Pearson]

Here's the intro and a link a video zoom symposium that the National
Assessment Governing Board held about how to account for the influence of
topic knowledge on comprehension.

Gina Cervetti represented the Development Panel charged with developing the
new 2026 NAEP Framework; she outlined the "tools and features" proposed in
the new Framework to account for the topic knowledge influence.  Daniel
Willingham delivered a classic psycholinguistic view of the
knowledge-comprehension relationship, and several other representatives
from wide-scale assessments (PISA, PIRLS, GISA, SBAC, Louisiana) talked
about how they try to mitigate topic knowledge as a potential source of
bias and construct-irrelevant variance in their assessments.  Gina closed
by responding to all the other efforts, comparing their approaches with
what is contemplated in NAEP. A discussion by the NAGB followed.
Informative, lively, occasionally controversial.
