Description
The purposes of The Alberta Student Assessment Study (ASAS) were to report on optimal assessment theory, policies, and practice; educational leadership practices; and professional development. The study emerged from an initial request from Alberta Education personnel to the Deans of Education at the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, and Lethbridge. Alberta Education identified the study objectives and funded the research. The Deans appointed the research team members who had complete academic freedom to design and conduct the study, and to report findings freely. The study commenced July 1, 2007 and was completed March 31, 2009.
