In 1987, parents and teachers from diverse neighborhoods
of a local school district in New York (New York) founded
the Bronx New School, a small public elementary school of
choice that was meant to be learner-centered, with high
standards for all. The school was organized into
heterogeneous, multi-age classes and structured to
encourage collaboration among faculty, students, and
families. In spite of political stresses, the school's
founding values have survived. This report focuses on the
first 3 years of its life, a time when a comprehensive
assessment system was designed and used throughout the
school. The assessment system was designed to support
instruction and learning through the collection of
descriptive records of student growth. Teacher-kept
records, student-kept records, and samples of student
work in portfolios are used in combination to develop a
picture of student learning. A developmental framework
constructed by teachers provides a general guide for
expectations of progress. The implementation of the
system is illustrated through the case study of one
student. (Contains 31 references.) (SLD)
