Next Generation Assessment - Looking Beyond the "Bubble Test" to Support Learning in the 21st Centruy, by Linda Darling- Hammond Like with many of her previous works, Linda Darling - Hammond provides an in-depth look as to how new assessments can be utilized within modern day classrooms and educational systems. The author draws from hundreds of studies in the field, reviewing the successes and failures of current practices and recommending changes that can take place in response. Next Generation Assessment, as its name suggests, details a move away from what has been described as the bubble test era and instead focuses on supporting the real world learning required within a modern society. The diverse set of strategies outlined in this work can not only benefit any person working within education, but also those who are passionate about the potential improvements within both the classroom and public education systems as a whole. With each chapter enlightening new facets of assessment design and reform, the reader can sense perhaps even greater passion within the author, who as always brings us along the journey - whether helping us consider the statistics, review past successes, or simply think outside of the box of current assessment frameworks. Each chapter might seem applicable to students, teachers, researchers, maybe even parents who care about education, yet all contribute to a greater understanding of how we can continue to push towards greater learning outcomes within our own local and global educational journeys. Even if this idea of a move beyond traditional assessment methods is still foreign to some, each paragraph exhibits brilliance and an overall enthusiasm that is infectious and worth considering. Reading Next Generation Assessment will certainly spark a conversation and possibly even change the landscape of ourselves and our students pushing against standardized testing, and embracing dynamic ways to truly measure the true success of learning.

A forward-thinking look at performance assessment in the 21st century Next Generation Assessment: Moving Beyond the Bubble Test to Support 21st Century Learning provides needed answers to the nation's growing concerns about educational testing in America. Drawing on research and the experiences of leading states and countries, this new book examines how performance assessments can offer a feasible alternative to current high stakes tests. As parents, educators, and policymakers have increasingly criticized the effects of the teaching to the test mandate from the No Child Left Behind Act, the need for this resource has never been more critical. This summary volume to Beyond the Bubble Test speaks to the nationwide unease about current tests' focus on low-level skills, like recalling and restating facts, rather than higher-order skills such as problem-solving, analyzing, and synthesizing information. It illustrates how schools can use authentic assessments to improve teaching and learning as they involve students in conducting research, designing investigations, developing products and solutions, using technology, and communicating their ideas in many forms. This important book: Serves as a must-have resource for those interested in the most current research about how to create valid and reliable performance assessments Explains how educators can improve practice by developing, using, and scoring performance assessments Helps policymakers and educators accurately assess the benefits and possibilities of adopting performance assessments nationally If you're an educator, researcher, graduate student, district administrator, or education policy specialist, Next Generation Assessment is an indispensable resource you'll turn to again and again.
