The Center for Measurement Justice
The Center for Measurement Justice (CMJ) is a research center dedicated to justice-oriented educational assessments. We envision a future in which all learners, especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous students, experience school assessments that validate their cultural identities and measure what they, their communities, and their families care about. In this future, all students, but especially Black, Brown, and Indigenous students, see educational assessments as valuable tools to support their learning and liberation. Toward our vision, CMJ’s work is to do and fund anti-racist measurement research, support the next generation of anti-racist assessment professionals, and build awareness about justice-oriented measurement by providing research-based information to the field of education leaders, policy makers, and practitioners. Our goal is to become the epicenter of engagement and research on social justice-oriented educational measurement. MenloEDU serves as a strategic and formative evaluation partner to CMJ.
