Hawthorne's Assessment as a Research Proposal

It struck me how much the suggestions Joan Hawthorne makes sound like elements of a good research proposal. Figure out the important questions and look for multiple ways to gather evidence to answer those questions. This also seems an apt metaphor when writing to an academic audience.

When I read about assessment, I thought of the research class I took a couple semesters ago. Figuring out what I want to know, why I want to know it, and who would be interested in this study as wellis important at every level of education and for a variety of reasons.
