Viewing Assessment as an Innovation: Leadership and the Change Process.
Gray, Peter J.
New Directions for Higher Education, n100 p5-15 Win 1997
Assessment can be viewed as innovation to be adopted by the people in an institution. It is up to leaders in higher-education institutions to identify early-adopter and majority groups of faculty in schools, colleges, and departments and work with them to adapt assessment to local conditions in a way that overcomes any perceived disadvantages.
