Zusammenfassung:"Even as more school districts adopt history curricula that specify historical thinking as a goal, valid assessments of historical thinking remain elusive, and exams continue to focus on measures of factual knowledge or generic reading and writing skills.

Topics covered include the design of formative and summative assessments for classroom purposes, methods of validating assessments of complex thinking, and assessing content versus procedural knowledge.
