Three Key Questions on Measuring Learning
Abstract
"To gauge different types of learning, we need a broader collection of measures, with a greater emphasis on authentic, performance-based projects.Educators, policy makers, parents, and others interested in improving the way we measure learning in today's schools need to examine three essential questions: 1) What really matters in a contemporary education? 2) How should we assess those things that matter? 3) How might our assessments enhance learning that matters, not just measure it?"
