Dr. Jitske de Vries is a researcher at the ELAN Teacher Development section within the Department of Learning, Data Analytics, and Technology.

She coordinated the international project FORMAS in the Netherlands, developing and evaluating a professional development program in Assessment for Learning (AfL) for 60 secondary mathematics teachers and 1,400 students. Her dissertation, Supporting Teachers in Formative Assessment in the Classroom (2022), centered on this work and her involvement in InformED, a national AfL project focused on video coaching.

Jitske has also taught in the teacher education program and the Master’s in Educational Science and Technology, covering courses in AfL and teacher development.

Currently, her primary research focus is the Digital Twins to the Rescue project, which uses AI and text mining to help teachers predict language development deficiencies. She is also involved in the Tell-project, a professional development program aimed at enhancing assessment expertise through learning communities.
