Authentic Assessment in Action: Studies of Schools and Students at Work

“The issue of assessment comes first, but we see in the following case studies how it becomes powerfully enveloped in the processes of learning and teaching, of informing students, teachers, parents, and others of ‘how the children are doing.’ The portraits explicitly and implicitly suggest a deep, fair, and defensible way to answer the question ‘How’m I doing?’ in a manner that helps this child and eventually every child.”
—From the Foreword by Theodore R. Sizer

“Informative and thought provoking.”
