Hi,

ASSESSMENT FOR UNDERSTANDING
Throughout the country, many educators are moving beyond traditional tests
and using performance assessments to give students the experience, as
expert Grant Wiggins says, "of being tested the way historians,
mathematicians, museum curators, scientists, and journalists are actually
tested in the workplace."   The result is a deeper learning experience for
the student and a more complete picture of student performance for
teachers, parents, and others interested in what students know and can do.

Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies
to trying to prove the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly 
succeed and are right.
