Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment.
Black, Paul; Wiliam, Dylan
Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n2 p139-44 Oct 1998

Achieving this goal demands a four-point scheme for teacher development: learning from development, a slow, yet steady dissemination process, reduction of obstacles, and substantive research efforts.
