Transforming Student Assessment.
Neill, D. Monty
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n1 p34-40,58 Sep 1997

Assessment to enhance student learning should rest on certain foundations: an understanding of how student learning occurs; clear statements of desired, universal learning standards; adequate learning resources; and appropriate school structures and practices.
