| Description: | "For years I have argued that measurement and assessment should have a more prominent place in teacher education curricula. I still believe that. But beyond a good knowledge of the essentials, teachers need not be assessment experts. Nor need they fret over measurement specialists' admonitions about measuring change. Rather, teachers could spend their time more productively by concentrating on what they want their students to know and be able to do at the end of the year. Often this implies something as simple as asking the right question of their own teaching." This posting, by Lloyd Bond, a senior scholar at the Carnegie Foundation, looks at the difficulty in measuring certain education outcomes. It is #15 in the monthly series called Carnegie Foundation Perspectives. These short commentaries exploring various educational issues are produced by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching <http://www.carnegiefoundation.org>. |
