Abstract	Assessment in America's high schools is about to undergo its most dramatic advance in decades, according to a policy brief released in February by the Alliance for Excellent Education (AEE), a Washington, DC, based organization devoted to promoting high school transformation. "There is widespread concern that the most prominent assessments currently being used in the United States are inadequate and may have a significantly negative impact on student learning," wrote Robert Rothman, an AEE senior fellow, in the report, "Principles for a Comprehensive Assessment System." The brief calls for a new comprehensive-coherent assessment system in which curriculum, instruction and assessment are intertwined. This system should be organized around four principles, according to the brief: (1) Coherence; (2) Comprehensiveness; (3) Accuracy and Credibility; and (4) Fairness. The brief calls upon the federal government to take several steps to help ensure development of assessment systems that support student learning. [For "Principles for a Comprehensive Assessment System," see ED510797.] (ERIC).
