About Key-Note Speaker
Dr. Irena Raudienė, in 2023 at Vytautas Magnus University, defended her thesis ” The Assessment Culture that Supports Learning: a Critical Ethnographic Study of One School”, supervisor prof. dr. Natalija Mažeikienė. Irena has been interested in issues of achievement evaluation ever since working as a teacher, she had to make various decisions about students’ learning outcomes. Later, while working at the Ministry of Education, Science, and Sports, I had to delve into the problem of the idea and application of the European language portfolio, the organization of achievement tests and matriculation exams, the assessment of social and emotional abilities, and the preparation of various documents for the implementation of the educational content, including the assessment of achievements. I managed to accumulate a lot of experience about the assessment process and how it is implemented while working in Lithuania with representatives of various interest groups: students, teachers, managers, education administrators and politicians, as well as working in international working groups and projects of the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the Organization for European Economic Cooperation and Development, dedicated to analyzing and solving assessment problems.
Irena continues her academic activities by working as a lecturer at the VMU Education Academy and sharing her experience with current and future teachers. This work is very important and meaningful.
