assessment

Elliot Eisner on Assessment: ". . . The standard paradigm holds that goals and objectives must be clear and that once clear, means can be designed to attain those goals. Once means are implemented, evaluation procedures can be used to determine if the goals and objectives have been reached. The problem with this model is that this is not the way life works; and it's certainly not the way work in the arts proceeds."
