The match between current national assessment initiatives in reading and validated dimensions of authentic assessment
No full text"The current emphasis on national standards and accountability in education is accompanied by a burgeoning concern for educating individuals who are able to competently perform complex tasks necessary for success in ""real world"" situations. The ability to perform flexibly in ""real world"" situations implies movement toward authentic assessment of high-level thinking skills that match criterion performance settings and transcend traditional subject matter divisions. Recognizing the cognitive complexity of reading and the need for critical and evaluative reading in diverse situations, assessment and standards initiatives have strived to provide a more authentic assessment of reading processes than that which is found in previous standardized tests."This study examines the match between authentic assessment tasks associated with two major national assessment initiatives in reading (The NAEP Trial State Assessment in reading and The New Standards Project reading) assessment and validated dimensions of authentic assessment.A panel expert reviewers in the areas of reading, educational measurement, and assessment were involved in a multistage validation process which culminated in the identification of 31 important dimensions of authentic reading assessment. These dimensions describe content and format, scoring and interpretation, and technical aspects of assessment. Task, items, and texts; assessment frameworks; and administration, scoring, and interpretation procedures of The NAEP Trial State Assessment in reading and The New Standards Project reading assessment were examined to determine the fit between characteristics of the assessments and each validated dimension. Profiles are provided which offer a graphic illustration of the relationships between each of the two initiatives and dimensions of authentic assessment. Where fit does not exist between assessment characteristics and specific dimensions of authentic assessment, feasibility of compromise between the goals of high-stakes assessment and authentic assessment are explored. Implications will be discussed for developing assessment systems that incorporate local curricular decisions and national concerns for efficiency, comparability, and reliability.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:24:08Z (GMT).

Response: Public Litigation, Private Arbitration?
No full textHow should legal disputes be allocated between litigation and arbitration? Given strong incentives for many actors to arbitrate everything, the question turns fundamentally on the scope of arbitration under the applicable law. In "Re-Inventing Arbitration: How Expanding the Scope of Arbitration Is Re-Shaping Its Form and Blurring the Line Between Private and Public Adjudication," Professor Deborah Hensler and Damira Khatam posit that the "public" or "private" nature of a dispute provides the key to whether it belongs in arbitration. While arbitration of private disputes is ok, disputes with "public policy dimensions" belong in the courts. Hensler and Khatam therefore suggest that Congress override Supreme Court decisions mandating arbitration of employment and consumer disputes, which, they contend, would restore domestic arbitration to its proper sphere.
But can disputes really be divided into public and private categories that provide the key to whether they belong in arbitration? This Response suggests that on close examination it is exceedingly difficult to identify a reliable proxy for the public or private nature of a dispute. The absence of such a proxy suggests there is an inescapably political dimension to how disputes are allocated between litigation and arbitration. Whether a category of disputes should be heard in a public court because the disputes impact the public interest turns out to depend on contested judgments about where the public interest lies. This, in turn, suggests a more fundamental reason for Congress to revisit the scope of arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. If the allocation of disputes between litigation and arbitration is an inescapably political question, it should ideally be addressed by an institution accountable to democratic politics.A response to the paper: Hensler, D. & Khatam, D.

Book Review: Adultery: Infidelity and the Law, by Deborah L. Rhode
No full textDespite being against the actual act of adultery, Deborah Rhode, the Ernest W McFarland Professor of Law and Director of the Center on the Legal Profession at Stanford University, makes a shockingly compelling argument for abolishing all laws that criminalize adultery in America. Rhode has written the first book of its kind—“the first comprehensive account of adultery and its legal consequences in the United States.” Weaving through various scenarios in which pro-adultery law arguments might be made, Rhode concludes that “laws governing adultery have grown more anachronistic.” Upon navigating the first few pages of Rhode’s book, one may prematurely dismiss her thesis; perhaps attributing the argument against punishing adulterers to an author with little respect for longstanding customs and traditions. However, Rhode does in fact take into account various traditionalist views, embraces them, and by the end of the book, convinces readers that notwithstanding the toxic essence of adultery, existing laws that criminalize adultery can be substantially harmful too
