Building on the vision articulated in the Series Introduction (Gordon, 2025), this volume answers the call to bridge the chasm between the aspiration for assessment in the service of learning and its practical application. It moves from the ‘why’ to the tangible ‘how’ by presenting the ‘actionable blueprints’ Gómez (2014) called for: concrete examples of assessments that support learning. Drawn from contexts as varied as the College Board’s AP® Art and Design portfolios and game-based assessments, these examples are aligned with the core design principles outlined in Baker, Everson, Tucker, and Gordon (2025).
