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 Counts establishes 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.
