This visioning document sets forth recommendations for reformed assessment and evaluation in Earth and space science education. These recommendations include a greater emphasis on performance assessment, as well as a review of standardized tests to ensure that science content is aligned with curriculum and grade level. Interdisciplinary assessments, assessing student misconceptions and additional research on student learning are also called for. This document is a result of a workshop, and may be of interest to K-12 teachers, novice evaluators, and professional evaluators.
