Analysis of CCAPS-34 scores on a large (n = 4,852) university counseling center student sample supported internal consistency ([alpha] = 0.803-0.896), one-month test-retest reliability (r[subscript tt] = 0.706-0.829), convergent and divergent validity, and good model fit. Measurement invariance of scores for all categories of race and student…

Although the principles behind assessment "for" and "as" learning are well-established, there can be a struggle when reforming traditional assessment "of" learning to a program which encompasses assessment "for" and "as" learning. When introducing and reporting reforms, tensions in faculty may…
