Abstract	This book was designed as an assessment of standardized testing and its alternatives at the secondary school level. More specifically, a framework for thinking systematically and creatively about assessment, a review of the uses and limitations of standardized tests of general achievement, and descriptions of several methods that may offer more helpful approaches to assessment are provided. All three specific components are grounded in a broad perspective that calls attention to the purposes of assessment, levels of assessment, and two critical issues (authenticity and multiple indicators). The nature of authentic academic achievement is discussed, and approaches to assessing authentic academic achievement are forwarded. Assessment of organizational academic quality is addressed, and implementation of assessment programs is reviewed. A discussion on the uses and limitations of standardized tests is appended. A 66-item list of references is included. (TJH)
