In this book, authors Murphy and O'Neill propose a new way forward,
moving away from high-stakes, test-based writing assessment and the
curriculum it generates and toward an approach to assessment that
centers on student learning and success. Reviewing the landscape of
writing assessment and existing research-based theories on writing,
the authors demonstrate how a test-based approach to accountability
and current practices have undermined effective teaching and
learning of writing. This book bridges the gap between real-world
writing that takes place in schools, college, and careers and the
writing that students are asked to do in standardized writing
assessments to offer a new ecological approach to writing
assessment. Murphy and O'Neill's new way forward turns
accountability inside out to help teachers understand the role of
formative assessments and assessment as inquiry. It also brings the
outside in, by bridging the gap between authentic writing and
writing assessment. Through these two strands, readers learn how
assessment systems can be restructured to become better aligned
with contemporary understandings of writing and with best practices
in teaching. With examples of assessments from elementary school
through college, chapters include guidance on designing assessments
to address multiple kinds of writing, integrate reading with
writing, and incorporate digital technology and multimodality.
Emphasizing the central role that teachers play in systemic reform,
the authors offer sample assessments developed with intensive
teacher involvement that support learning and provide information
for the evaluation of programs and schools. This book is an
essential resource for graduate students, instructors, scholars and
policymakers in writing assessment, composition, and English
education.
