Abstract

Recognizing that the independent school admission industry’s nomenclature now includes such words as “grit,” “perseverance,” and “self-efficacy,” SSATB convened a Think Tank on the Future of Assessment to study and review the emerging science of non-cognitive character assessment and to consider the many forces (demographic, financial, technical) which are changing our work in 2013 and beyond. SSATB’s Think Tank developed this report to introduce those chiefly responsible for enrollment management success in independent schools to innovate ideas – both in theory and selection practices.
