About this title

Synopsis

Wiggins has written the most comprehensive and exhaustive treatise available on the imperative to change the ways we test and assess student performance.
:?Educational Leadership

:By showing us that assessment is more that testing and intellectual performance is more than right answers, Wiggins points the way toward new systems of assessment that more closely examine students' habits of mind and provide teachers with more useful and credible feedback.
