T
zur Karelitz is interested in the ways in which measurement supports and improves educational systems and in the integration of assessment and instruction in classrooms.
He is particularly interested in how novel measurement models can be applied to embedded and formative assessments. Specifically, his research involves developing and studying cognitively diagnostic assessment models.
In the BEAR center, he has been working on designing and validating the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP), a birth-through-thirteen assessment system of social, emotional, cognitive, physical and behavioral development. In addition, he is taking part in collaborative work with Vanderbilt University. Their work involves developing an embedded assessment for an inventive, hands-on science and math curriculum for data-modeling and statistics in middle schools.
Currently, he lives in Boston and is teaching courses on assessment at Boston College.
