Three Key Questions on Measuring Learning
McTighe, Jay
Educational Leadership, v75 n5 p14-20 Feb 2018
The author examines three essential questions on educational assessment: What really matters in a contemporary education? How should we assess those things that matter? How might our assessments enhance learning that matters, not just measure it? In answering these question, he argues that schools need a broader collection of measures, with a greater emphasize on authentic, performance-based projects.
