Description - Educative Assessment by Grant Wiggins
Wiggins makes the most convincing case yet that school-based
assessment should aim mainly to improve, rather than to audit,
student performance. Thanks to his penetrating discussions of
feedback, the relationship of formal designs to practice, teaching
for understanding, and rubrics, this book should dispel common
misconceptions and elevate both the understanding and practice of
authentic assessment?

Assessing Student Performance laid out the theoretical foundations
of a new assessment system that provides a more authentic picture
of student capabilities than standardized testing. In Assessment
for Excellence, Grant Wiggins provides guidance on how to design
performance-based assessments for use in the classroom. This book
covers all aspects of assessment design, including how to craft
performance tasks that meet rigorous educational standards, how to
score assessments fairly, and how to structure and judge student
portfolios. It also looks at how performance assessment can be used
to improve curriculum and instruction, grading and reporting?and
teacher accountability.
