Gordon shows how we can use assessment to support teaching and develop students' competencies. Between 2011 and 2013, Gordon chaired an interdisciplinary commission of scholars and thinkers, who connected transformative research and ideas on learning, teaching, measurement, the nature of tests, intelligence, capability, technology, and policy.
“The book may present new ideas of testing and learning to a broad US-based audience of educational stakeholders. Scholars with an interest in pedagogy and educational testing in the US may also find the book informative. … Gordon’s book provides an insightful discussion of the myriad of considerations for valid and reliable large-scale testing, particularly when questioning whether the assessment practices of today are appropriate for building learning to meet the societal demands of tomorrow.” (Anna Fletcher, Studies in Continuing Education, September, 2017)
