ABOUT MARIANNE PERIE
Dr. Perie has worked in the area of educational assessment since 1999. She has worked on state-level operational programs, designed and evaluated interim assessments for districts, and contributed to research for international assessments including TIMSS and PISA. She has also worked with several states and both consortia to design and validate alternate assessments for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. In addition, she lead a reporting group for the Nation’s Report Card (NAEP) and has served on multiple advisory committees for the National Assessment Governing Board. For three years, she lead the Technical Issues in Large Scale Assessment collaborative for CCSSO and currently serves on the technical advisory committee for eight states.
Her expertise lies in the intersection of test design, psychometric, and application. She has helped numerous states develop their school accountability systems and focuses on the interpretability and usability of reports. She spent three years of her career running standard-setting workshops, and has designed new methodologies for both setting and reviewing cut scores. She also works at the district level to build capacity on assessment literacy and data use.
