Assessing student performance	6/10/04 10:46 AM
Author: Joe Nathan

With federal support, the Center for School Change produced a handbook on assessing student achievement. This report, What Should We Do? can be downloaded for free at our website publications area - www.centerforschoolchange.org.

The report describes how various schools, district and charter, have assessed student achievement on things like public presentations.

More than 10,000 copies of this report have been printed and distributed.

If people have trouble finding it on the CSC website, please let me know.

Thanks.
