Your posting raised a nice array of questions and observations about assessment, and the goodness of fit between our teaching and our modes of assessment. One clear sign of the quality of your posting was it sparked such a breadth of responses that our students wound up directing their own conversation in which the fundamental question you raise about what's most worthy of our energy as teachers was taken up with great vigor.

I'm really curious whether you think it's possible to achieve authentic assessment that is also 1) efficient or scalable (so the human assessment hours don't double when the number of students doubles) and 2) comparable across classrooms, schools, districts, and states. Those are the two big drivers for standardized multiple choice tests -- how can we satisfy them in a way that does a better job of measuring real learning?
