Despite the importance of assessments
in education today, few teachers receive much formal training in assessment
design or analysis. A recent survey showed that fewer than half the states
require competence in assessment for licensure as a teacher (Stiggins, 1999). My
hope is that teachers change both their view of assessments and their
interpretation of results. Please view the links below to improve the quality
of your classroom assessments and align the assessments with the state
standards and your measurable objectives.
The benefits of assessment for both
students and teachers will be boundless.
