Abstract	This article examines classroom assessment reform from four perspectives: ... 1) The technological perspective focuses on issues of organization, structure, strategy and skill in developing new assessment techniques. 2) The cultural perspective examines how alternative assessments are interpreted and integrated into the social and cultural context of schools. 3) The political perspective views assessment issues as being embedded in and resulting from the dynamics of power and control in human interaction. Here assessment problems are caused by inappropriate use, political and bureaucratic interference, or institutional priorities and requirements. 4) The postmodern perspective is based on the view that in today' s complex and uncertain world, human beings are not completely knowable and that "authentic" experiences and assessments are fundanmentally questionable. ... Teachers were interviewed about their personal understanding of alternative forms of assessment; about how they had aquired this understanding; how they integrated changes into their practices; what these practices looked like; what successes and obstacles they encountered during implementation; and what support systems had been provided for them.
