Beyond the Bubble (cont.)

Below, Chad highlighted my new Education Sector report on technology and the future of student assessment. In the report, I show how technology can help to both deepen and broaden assessment practice--by assessing more comprehensively and by assessing new skills and concepts.

Beyond the Bubble, of course, refers to the multiple choice question types that dominate NCLB-mandated state assessments.* But, it also refers to breaking through the static nature of the current policy debate around testing. You can hear me talk more about the current debate and discuss the implications of the report in this online interview.


*Disclaimer: Multiple choice question types can be an important part of a nutritious and well-balanced assessment diet.
