PORTLAND — Chris Minnich, head of the national association of state school superintendents, is stepping down to take a new job as chief executive of Portland-based testing agency Northwest Evaluation Association in January.

He will replace Matt Chapman, who has headed the testing outfit for more than a decade, officials announced Monday.

Minnich served as Oregon Department of Education’s director of test design and implementation from 2003 to 2005.

Northwest Evaluation Association is not well-known in Portland, even though it develops and administers tests for 10 million students a year. For decades, it has specialized in tests designed to measure students’ academic growth over time. Its best known suite of tests, known as MAP for their original name “measures of academic progress,” are used in more than half of U.S. states.
