      abstract = {In analyses of the role of national educational  assessment, insufficient attention has been paid to the  central place of the classroom. Rather than encouraging a  two-way flow of information, today's "standards-based"  frameworks tend to direct the flow of accountability from  the outside into the classroom. The authors of this volume  emphasize that assessment, as it exists in schools today,  consists mainly of the measurements that teachers  themselves design, evaluate, and act upon every day.  Improving the usefulness of assessment in schools primarily  requires assisting and harnessing this flood of assessment  information, both as a means of learning within the  classroom and as the source of crucial information flowing  out of classrooms.},
