For elementary, middle, and high school teachers in all subjects, Brookhart (Center for Advancing the Study of Teaching and Learning, Duquesne U.), an educational consultant and former teacher, details how to assess higher-order thinking skills in students, rather than testing only knowledge of facts and concepts. She describes principles of assessment and how to write assessments for the following skills: analysis, evaluation, creation, logic and reasoning, judgment, problem solving, and creativity. Examples are included. She covers both how to write and score questions and assessment tasks, however the teaching of the higher learning skills themselves, is not covered.
