My school scheduled a site visit with the North Central Association just after I began teaching. In a group meeting with one of their representatives I unwisely made reference to grades in answer to a question about what sort of assessment methods we use. I wish I had read Hawthorne’s essay before that meeting. Several years later—even after serving on various committees charged with assessment related tasks—I would not have been able to confidently explain either what assessment is or how one goes about assessment. I almost look forward to the next North Central Association visit as a chance to redeem myself.

could you possibly explain a bit more about what the North Central Association is and does?
