Innovative evaluation of education

Educators are increasingly questioning why schools are set up the way they are and are beginning to examine the role of education in a rapidly changing society. More importantly, they are beginning to act to change past practices which do not hold up in light of current knowledge about society and about children and how they learn. The attempts at change, however, are confronted with some formidable obstacles in the form of evaluation. How can the changes be assessed? On what basis are they to be judged? And how are more traditional forms of education to be judged, particularly as new structures emerge? Advocates of alternative forms of education often call for alternative methods of evaluation. Must we, then, have multiple forms of evaluation for multiple forms of education? Where are the points of commonality? Serious questions must be raised about accountability of schools. For what must schools be held accountable, regardless of the differences of educational philosophies and structures
