The Assessment Problem

The Assessment Problem

GREAT post from Weblogg-Ed on one of my favorite topics (read: pet peeves), assessments. I'm a longtime fan of Will Richardson's blog, one of the first to really to address social media (back when there was only "blogging" in that category) in education. Comments encouraged!
