About
Hello.
I am David Baidoo-Anu, PhD, Assistant Professor of Assessment and Evaluation in the Mitch and Leslie Frazer Faculty of Education at Ontario Tech University. My research is situated at the intersection of educational assessment, measurement, evaluation, equity, and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in education. I am particularly committed to advancing justice-oriented, inclusive, and socio-culturally responsive approaches to assessment and measurement that promote student success across diverse educational contexts, especially in the age of GenAI. As a World Bank Group Africa Fellow in Education, I contributed to advising national education systems on equitable assessment reform, large-scale assessment frameworks, data-informed decision-making, teacher development, and policies aimed at strengthening inclusive, high-quality education. I have also contributed to assessment, research, and evaluation initiatives within Ontario district school boards, including the York Region District School Board and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. I hold a PhD in Education, with a specialization in Assessment, Measurement, and Evaluation, from Queen's University. I also hold a Master of Philosophy in Measurement and Evaluation and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.
