Traditional assessment techniques and standardized tests no longer reflect what’s going on in classrooms where reading and writing for real purposes are the norm. This book presents nine case studies that demonstrate how the challenge of reforming assessment can be met at the school, district, and state/provincial levels. The studies are written by educators actually involved in efforts to create assessments that match instruction. They yield an authentic picture of students’ literacy development and are framed by comprehensive introductory and concluding chapters that provide context to the challenges facing the assessment reform movement.
