Abstract	In this occasional paper, we invite readers into a conversation about the need for and usefulness of a set of learning objectives or competencies for the field of assessment. We briefly discuss the slow solidification of the field of assessment as a discipline, the diverse paths of entry into the field of assessment, and the increasing need for assessment-related professional development and training. We then present one example of a set of assessment knowledge, skills, and attitudes, the "Assessment Skills Framework" (Horst & Prendergast, 2020), a taxonomy of assessment-related learning outcomes. Applications of the framework are offered in light of ten benefits that a coherent set of assessment competencies could offer to our field. Although the "Assessment Skills Framework" is highlighted, we hope that the discussion serves in continuing the conversation regarding assessment competencies at the broader professional level. [For "The Assessment Skills Framework: A Taxonomy of Assessment Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes," see EJ1269869.] (As Provided).
