Interdisciplinary (99) Assessment drives learning. But teachers cannot assess effectively unless they can access and implement proven techniques. In 1998-1999, a team of science faculty and education researchers worked together at the National Institute for Science Education (NISE) and created the Field-tested Learning Assessment Guide, or the FLAG. This Web-based resource is aimed at "jump starting" the implementation of alternative classroom assessments. The target audience is teachers in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) courses at all types of post-secondary institutions. Efforts to disseminate information about FLAG are especially focused on reaching those who are eager to improve their courses and incorporate assessment of student learning outcomes in that process. An easy-to-use classroom assessment resource coupled with nationwide distribution will empower current and future SMET faculty to catalyze change on a national level.This project aims at three key goals. One is the national dissemination of the FLAG. The project plans to capitalize on natural outlets in SMET professional societies, national education organizations, workshop developers, and faculty development organizations. The ongoing network of alliances between the NISE and such organizations provides a foundation from which to build these relationships. The second objective is a major expansion of the FLAG. The current FLAG contains an excellent set of classroom assessment techniques (CATs) but only a limited set of tools. The project is in the process of acquiring an extensive population of field-tested tools from a diverse set of SMET disciplines. The FLAG team is also working to upgrade the FLAG resource to a highly interactive environment so as to incorporate users in this process. The third goal is to provide a permanent, funded home for the FLAG and its development team at the University of New Mexico, with an ongoing collaboration with the NISE.

跨学科 (99) 评估驱动学习。但是，除非教师能够获得并实施经过验证的技术，否则他们无法进行有效的评估。 1998-1999 年，一组科学教师和教育研究人员在国家科学教育研究所 (NISE) 共同工作，创建了实地测试学习评估指南 (FLAG)。这个基于网络的资源旨在“快速启动”替代课堂评估的实施。目标受众是所有类型专上机构的科学、数学、工程和技术 (SMET) 课程的教师。传播有关 FLAG 信息的努力尤其侧重于那些渴望改进课程并在此过程中纳入学生学习成果评估的人们。易于使用的课堂评估资源与全国范围内的分布相结合，将使当前和未来的 SMET 教师能够促进国家层面的变革。该项目旨在实现三个关键目标。一是国旗的全国传播。该项目计划利用 SMET 专业协会、国家教育组织、研讨会开发商和教师发展组织的自然渠道。 NISE 与此类组织之间持续存在的联盟网络为建立这些关系奠定了基础。第二个目标是 FLAG 的重大扩展。当前的 FLAG 包含一套优秀的课堂评估技术 (CAT)，但只有一套有限的工具。该项目正在从不同的 SMET 学科中获取大量经过现场测试的工具。 FLAG团队还致力于将FLAG资源升级为高度交互的环境，以便将用户纳入这一过程。第三个目标是与 NISE 持续合作，为新墨西哥大学的 FLAG 及其开发团队提供一个永久的、受资助的家园。
