Abstract

The studies in this special issue examine the social consequences of educational measures. In this commentary, I reflect on past and contemporary conceptualizations of the consequences of measurement and discuss advancing a more justice-oriented approach. To this end, it is imperative that we engage a critical lens in order to interrogate and act upon structural issues as they manifest in testing, assessment, and measurement.
