Most students and my peers know that I have a passion for assessment. I'm constantly questioning the traditions that seem to hamper effective assessment and, in turn, limit learning. We all know the dangers of assumption - but so much of assessment practice in education is conceived based on assumption rather than research.
Cole Camplese from Penn State University recently posted to his blog a brief write up about assessment - but the main point is to listen to his daughter, in 1st grade, discuss the assessment and grading practices she's come to "learn" under. Take a moment to listen to the podcast.
