"Dr. Dawson and her colleagues offer educators a powerful perspective for thinking about assessment. Whereas traditional testing often focuses on what students know, DiscoTest helps educators evaluate how students know. From this vantage point the goal of education can more firmly focus on the pedagogies that support children building knowledge instead of borrowing it." |

"DiscoTest brings together good psychometrics and rigorous research and analysis to produce practical classroom assessments of student understanding. DiscoTests are easy to administer and reports are clear and helpful, providing solid research-based learning recommendations. The research approach used by Dawson and her colleagues is compatible with grounded theory and phenomenological approaches." |

"I really like what you are doing. I admire your efforts to translate theory into practice in a manner that will help improve education. I think it would be great if all preservice and inservice teachers could learn about your ideas." |
