Theory to Practice Steering Committee
The "Theory to Practice" project was guided by a steering committee of highly experienced scholars and practitioners, from eclectic backgrounds. (The careful construction of an emblematic group is key to the credibility of such an ambitious project. A second example is the quantity and balance of expertise assembled for the Test Design Project, shown on the inside front cover of the project's 1995 Methodology.)
