This interactive session gathers state leaders in K-12 assessment with technology experts to discuss how emerging innovations are reshaping educational testing. The session will analyze practical examples of technologies being explored and implemented within statewide assessment programs, including advances in remote proctoring, artificial intelligence, and digital assessment ecosystems. Panelists will explore how these fit with program priorities as well as offer real-world lessons and strategies for responsible technology adoption. Whether representing a state education agency, testing organization, or assessment vendor, participants will leave with actionable ideas for responsibly advancing innovation while protecting the integrity of high-stakes testing.
