Description

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.
Measuring Up: A Policy Brief provides highlights of the volume in the context of implications for educational policy. It is 32 pages and long available for $3.95.
