| Abstract | The gap between policymaker enthusiasm for the uses of student assessment and expert caution is analyzed by examining new forms of student assessment as an education policy strategy. The study is based on interviews with 34 national and state policymakers and focuses on their differing expectations of what assessment policy can accomplish and how they view the feasibility of assessment-based reforms. Some policymakers agree with testing experts that assessments should provide information about the overall status of the education system and aid in instructional decisions about individual students, but others want to use assessments for accountability or for certifying that individual students have attained specified levels of mastery. Testing experts, who have cautioned against assessment misuse in the past, are in danger of being ignored as they continue their dire warnings against using assessments in policy formation.
