The Changing Nature of Student Measurement

Balanced Assessment Systems: Redefining Excellence in Assessment Rick Stiggins Rick Stiggins of the Educational Testing Service explains that a system of effective assessment can come from collaboration between the measurement community, teachers, and administrators. He argues that, to target the learning requirements of every student, assessment should be integrated into classrooms day to day and year to year. Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards through Classroom Assessment Paul Black and Dylan William Black and Williams formulate an argument on the necessity of moving assessment to a place inside the black box - the classroom. They argue that formative assessment is an essential component of classroom work and that its development can raise standards of achievement in the classroom.
