HELENA – There are recent leadership changes regarding Montana education.
State Superintendent Elsie Arntzen welcomed Cedar Rose as the Office of Public Instruction’s (OPI) new Assessment Director.
The Assessment Director provides training on assessment administration and test security, develops resources, and conducts professional development to ensure effective statewide assessments. The director is also the OPI liaison to the Technical Advisory Committee, which ensures the validity and reliability of test scores and fairness in testing all students. Ms. Rose will lead a team of five OPI specialists that help implement assessments around our state.
OPI Assessment Director Cedar Rose said, “my background as a classroom teacher allows me to see that assessment is a cornerstone of student learning.” She continued, “quality assessment provides educators meaningful feedback to design and implement quality instruction. I am eager to help Montana’s students through the lens of assessment.”
