Mapping Assessment
Ron Ritchhart,
May 31, 2021
This post proposes a way to map ( or categorize) different types of assessment based on two axes: one which ranges from 'people as they are' (ie., to use Ron Ritchhart's terms, low judgement) to 'people as they should be' (ie., 'highly evaluative'), and the other which ranges from embedded evaluation (ie., set in the flow of work) and evaluation that is set apart (for example, a formal test). It's a nice categorization but the post seems a little weak to me on what we would do with this mapping. Ritchhart says only that "the point of this mapping is not to label any of these sets of practices as good or bad but to map the terrain, to provide a bird's eye view if you will, about what assessment can mean in different contexts." Which, really, tells me nothing.
