Forging Alliances for Action: Culturally Responsive Evaluation and Assessment Across Fields of Practice
Fulfilling our mission to generate evidence for policy-making that is not only methodologically but also culturally and contextually defensible, our 2014 conference brought together an interdisciplinary group of U.S. and international scholars to focus on the role of culture in theory and practices of evaluation and assessment. The CREA conference is unique in its definitive recognition of culture’s centrality to evaluation and assessment and will illuminate the landscape of culturally responsive evaluation and assessment, a space that remains largely uncharted.
Sessions will focus on:
• Culturally responsive methods and methodologies
• Culturally responsive assessment and evaluation practices in organizations
• Policies for culturally responsive assessment and evaluation
• Inter-disciplinary action-oriented dialogue on culturally responsive assessment and evaluation
• Evaluation, research, and assessment in Indigenous cultures
