There is a new report issued in the US by the Gordon Commission (details below with links to the report). It is interesting to see what they are saying about the changing face of education assessment. There are some great thinkers on the commission including Bob Mislevy, John Behrens and Randy Bennett.
The Gordon Commission on the Future of Assessment in Education, established by
ETS in January 2011 and given a two-year tenure, has released a public policy statement calling upon state and federal policymakers to commit to a long-term effort to develop assessments that place greater emphasis on providing timely and valuable information to students and teachers. See:http://www.gordoncommission.org/rsc/pdfs/gordon_commission_public_policy_report.pdf.
