19. THINK SH SHARE
What struck you about this example of
assessing 21st century skills?

20. “What gets measured gets done!”

21. “Educators sometimes say that they shy from
assessing creative thought for fear of inhibiting
students, but this is a grave error in my view,
even if the fear should be honored as coming
from a desire to help. (But ponder: why don’t
they shy from assessing “effective
communication” and “collaboration,”
however?)”
- Grant Wiggins
