Changing the National Conversation on Assessment
Tashlik, Phyllis
Phi Delta Kappan, v91 n6 p55-59 Mar 2010

Instead of exit exams, student assessments are based on specific performance-based assessment tasks. These schools have shown that it is possible to use qualitative data to make substantive decisions about students.
