Abstract
Investment dividends provided to shareholders serve as one index of corporate success or growth. To maintain public support, school districts must inform stakeholders about the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process in preparing students for the future. Accountability systems used to plan for school improvement require information on many topics and form a variety of sources. Results of an evaluation process in general and of assessment practices in particular indicate educational success (educational dividends). Assessment results demonstrate student achievement regarding knowledge, performance, or interpersonal outcomes, and indicate that a school is indeed achieving its mission. By accessing results by multiple methods of assessment, decision-makers have more information to refine the teaching-for-learning process.
