Assessment Literacy in a Better Assessment Future

This article offers a perspective on two questions: (1) How will a better assessment future differ from the current assessment landscape? (2) What will assessment literacy look like in that future? Answers will be based on a recent large-scale review of research in the area of assessment to inform teaching and learning and professional development work with teachers. The article will focus on identifying what will change—and is changing—in assessment, what can be expected to stay the same, and how that affects assessment literacy needs for teachers, school leaders, and students.
