The Politics of Assessment Reform: Implications for Educators.
Plato, Kathleen
NASSP Bulletin, v76 n545 p41-49 Sep 1992
Washington State reform themes include movement from input- to output-based systems, student performance standards, and certification of mastery; shift from standardized testing to performance-based measurement; blurred distinctions between grades and schooling levels; greater local control in implementing teaching, learning, and assessment practices; and greater accountability for educational system "products." Implications are discussed. (MLH)
