It's time to move our assessment practices from the 1950s to the
century we're living in. It's time to invest in our teachers and
local school leaders instead of in more tests. It's time to help
all students understand how to unleash their strengths and gain a
sense of themselves as learners capable of choosing their own paths
to success. In The Perfect Assessment System, Rick Stiggins calls
for the ground-up redevelopment of assessment in U.S. education.
Speaking from more than 40 years of experience in the field-and
speaking for all learners who hope to succeed, the teachers who
want them to succeed, and the local school leaders whose
aspirations for success have been thwarted by assessment
traditions-Stiggins maps out the adjustments in practice and
culture necessary to generate both accurate accountability data and
the specific evidence of individual mastery that will support sound
instructional decision making and better learning in the classroom.
He addresses: Assessment purpose-how (and why) to clarify the
reason for every assessment and the users it will serve. Learning
targets to be assessed-how to make sure we focus on the right
competencies and set consistent definitions of success. Assessment
quality-how to ensure every assessment, at every level, is an
excellent one. Communication of assessment results-how to share
information in ways that best support diverse purposes. Assessment
impact-how to link assessment to truly productive, universal
student motivation. We have not yet begun to explore assessment's
true potential to enhance both school quality and student
well-being. Stiggins kicks off this critical conversation and
charts a course for a new system that promises much higher levels
of student success at a fraction of our current testing costs. The
door is open for assessment reform; here is a bold plan for getting
it right.
