Summary	Reflections on Assessment presents teachers with a comprehensive picture of what can be a complex subject - from definitions and history to practical suggestions and political implications. It looks at the theory that drives student-centered assessment and evaluation, and examines practical strategies teachers can use to "make it work" in a system still based on behaviorist principles. Classroom examples are integrated throughout to help teachers in their teaching grading communication with parents, and presentation of ideas to other teachers and school boards.
	To illustrate points, the Stricklands include stories of teachers who have used a variety of strategies and techniques to: drive curriculum and teaching; assess and evaluate within the constraints of district and state mandates; and grade students in a way that is consistent with student-centered learning.
