How does the ‘traditional’ system of assessment fair in today’s world?
“As educators, school leaders, and policymakers, we exist in a world where too often assessment equals high-stakes testing.”

From Bell Curve to the Mountain- INTRO BY DOUG Reeves

inherently

What is our goal?
We must find “…a sustainable approach to assessment that is not dependent upon political winds or transient legislative mandates. The professional practices and policies (suggested in this book) transcend time, borders, and cultures.”
