Abstract

Adler-Kassner and O'Neill show writing faculty and administrators how to frame discussions of writing assessment so that they accurately represent research-based practices, and promote assessments that are valid, reliable, and discipline-appropriate. Public discourse about writing instruction is currently driven by ideas of what instructors and programs "need to do," "should do," or "are not doing" and is based on poorly informed concepts of correctness and unfounded claims about a broad decline in educational quality.
