“If you challenge the conventional wisdom, you will find ways to do things much better than they are currently done.”

-Michael Lews - Moneyball

In 2015, after teaching for four years at El Segundo High School, I was asked to present at the UCLA CRESST conference about the engineering program that I developed. In a small mix-up in an email exchange from CRESST I was asked to present about where I saw assessment going in the next 10 years. That is the first time I used the term Edumetrics and put together my initial ideas in a TEDDY Talk.

After a couple of years of trying to get the idea of Edumetrics flushed out enough to put it into practice I realized it would never be completely ready. Thanks to the amazing reflective community at WISSIT I was able to come up with the first renderings of how Edumetrics might look in the classroom.

Once I brought this idea to McDonogh the collaborative atmosphere and willingess of students and teachers to give input allowed the system to evolve.
