Measuring What Counts A Conceptual Guide for Mathematics Assessment

To achieve national goals for education, we must measure the things that really count. Measuring What Countsestablishes crucial research- based connections between standards and assessment. Arguing for a better balance between educational and measurement concerns in the development and use of mathematics assessment, this book sets forth three principles--related to content, learning, and equity--that can form the basis for new assessments that support emerging national standards in mathematics education.National Research Council Staff is the author of 'Measuring What Counts A Conceptual Guide for Mathematics Assessment' with ISBN 9780309049818 and ISBN 0309049814.
