Learning expert Grant P. Wiggins advocates an approach to assessment that gives a more accurate picture of students' abilities than standardized testing. These new performance-based assessments force students to demonstrate their knowledge in complex projects, essays, oral presentations, and other such exhibitions. Wiggins claims this new approach to assessment can bring out the best in everyone in schools.In this work, the author shows how to design new assessments: outlining the criteria for good assessment design, performance standards, and scoring rubrics. He also tackles such issues as grading and report cards, and fairness and bias in testing.
