| Abstract | Since the publication of "A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform" by the U.S. Department of Education in 1983, American higher education has faced the need to develop its own effective means of learning assessment to forestall the prospect of government-imposed standardized procedures. The latter potential may have moved closed last year, when Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings' Commission on the Future of Higher Education concluded that "higher education institutions should measure student learning using quality assessment data," and that "the results of student learning assessment, including value-added measurements that indicate how much students' skills have improved over time, should be made available to students and reported in the aggregate publicly." These recommendations have spurred activity involving increased development of standardized tests, challenges to accrediting bodies, and responses from major higher education associations. This article considers two of the many resultant questions that are shaping the national conversation: (1) Where are schools nationally in relation to the assessment of student learning? and (2) What should colleges and universities be doing to retain control of the evaluation of student learning?
