Innovative Assessment Practices

In this ebook, we will show why and how assessments are shifting, away from tests of learning toward assessments for learning. In the pages that follow, we will summarize the current state of assessment, explore trends that open the door for transforming assessment. We will also shine a light on the purpose of assessment, as well as several bright spots where assessment innovation is happening in schools across the United States. Bringing these ideas together, we conclude with a vision for how effective assessment could reinvigorate education, teaching, and learning in the 21st century.
