Assessment Crisis: The Absence of Assessment FOR Learning
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 83, No. 10 (June 2002): 758-765.
Richard J. Stiggins
The purpose of this presentation is to differentiate between assessments OF learning, which serve to check student achievement status at a particular point in time, from assessments FOR learning, which serve to help students learn more. For decades, the United States has been a nation obsessed with local, state, national and international standardized assessments OF learning for purposes of public accountability. At the same time, we have almost completely ignored the use of day-to-day classroom assessments FOR learning. This article argues that we must balance the two, delineates the principles of assessment FOR learning, describes how teachers can master those principles, and references the mountain of international research revealing the unprecedented gains in student achievement that result from their implementation.(8pp.)
