Educators need to recognize the multi-dimensional and changing nature of literacies. They need to examine critically the purposes of basic education and definitions of success, as these concepts will continue to shape the approaches to measurement and instruction. The chapters in this book aim to broaden, deepen, and affirm the understanding of the theory and practice behind assessment and accountability systems.[p.9, ed].
