Authors: Eleanor Armour-Thomas and Edmund W. Gordon, I

Consulting Editors: Randy Bennett and Linda Darling Hammond

The possibilities of a functional integration of assessment, curriculum, and teaching as instrumental to learning and as essential components of pedagogy are exciting. The authors of this paper are asked to draw implications of the implementation of educational measurement into the processes and transactions of pedagogy and as informative agents for the improvement of teaching and learning. The authors will also draw these implications from the differential purposes of assessment in education. VIEW PAPER
