Linda Darling-Hammond's winter 2008 presentation on international practices of performance-based assessment and how these practices compare with American assessments. Beginning with a list of 21st century skills, Darling-Hammond contrasts US tests - which require recall of a simple fact or ask students for a one-sentence explanation - with exams abroad that include designing science experiments, refining computer programs and explaining the reasoning behind solutions for complex problems.
