Based on the assumption that changes in the educational experience require changes in the evaluation of student learning, this fourth guidebook in a series of nine video conferences on school restructuring presents information on the evolution of student assessment. Four shifts in educational assessment are identified: from testing to multiple assessments, from cognitive to diverse abilities, from uni- or bi-dimensional to multidimensional measurement, and from isolated to integral assessment. Also provided are pre- and post-conference activities, a program evaluation, essays and school-based activities highlighting conference topics, information about other video conferences in the series and computer forums, course credit information, a list of supplementary materials, 73 references and 5 video sources, and a list of 9 regional resources. Biographical information is given on the conference presenters. (LMI)
