This book brings together internationally recognised scholars with an interest in
how to use the power of assessment to improve student learning and to engage with
accountability priorities at both national and global levels. It includes distinguished
writers who have worked together for some two decades to shift the assessment paradigm
from a dominant focus on assessment as measurement towards assessment as central to
efforts to improve learning. These writers have worked with the teaching profession
and, in so doing, have researched and generated key insights into different ways of
understanding assessment and its relationship to learning. The volume contributes
to the theorising of assessment in contexts characterised by heightened accountability
requirements and constant change. The book's structure and content reflect already
significant and growing international interest in assessment as contextualised practice,
as well as theories of learning and teaching that underpin and drive particular assessment
approaches. Learning theories and practices, assessment literacies, teachers' responsibilities
in assessment, the role of leadership, and assessment futures are the organisers within
the book's structure and content. The contributors to this book have in common the
view that quality assessment, and quality learning and teaching are integrally related.
Another shared view is that the alignment of assessment with curriculum, teaching
and learning is linchpin to efforts to improve both learning opportunities and outcomes
for all. Essentially, the book presents new perspectives on the enabling power of
assessment. In so doing, the writers recognise that validity and reliability - the
traditional canons of assessment - remain foundational and therefore necessary. However,
they are not of themselves sufficient for quality education
