Kathleen Tattersall New Assessment Researcher Award: 2024 Award Winner

It gives us great pleasure to announce that the winner of the Kathleen Tattersall New Assessment Researcher Award for 2024 is Heather Kayton.

Heather has completed her DPhil. in Education at the University of Oxford. Her research is focused on understanding the role that large-scale assessments play in educational policy reform in South Africa – particularly regarding reading instruction.

Heather will be presenting her keynote speech at the conference in Paphos, Cyprus which will be entitled ‘Evaluating the validity and comparability of PIRLS 2016 in South Africa’.

AEA-Europe Poster Award

AEA–Europe encourages its membership to submit poster proposals for its Annual Conference each year. It is a very effective way for professionals engaged in assessment to present their work, having the opportunity to exchange ideas, get feedback to improve their work and develop new, shared projects together with other experts in the field.

“Winning the Poster Award filled me with pride and I was very happy that colleagues acknowledged my work. Furthermore, the prize, a visit to CITO where we could chat with colleagues about our work, get feedback and learn about all the work being carried out by CITO, was the highlight of my year.”
