Abstract

The Standards for Teacher Competence in the Educational Assessment of Students (National Council on Measurement in Education, 1990) requires that teacher candidates achieve assessment competency before entering the profession. This requirement challenges teacher educators to provide meaningful, research-based instruction in assessment. This article presents the efforts of one teacher educator to chart a new course in classroom assessment, and more importantly, what she learned from students about redesigning the course.
