This paper presents a model of assessment that fosters the development and maintenance of a culture of continuous improvement. Background consisting of a short discussion of accountability, the education standards movement, and a theoretical framework supporting the building of an assessment culture and a model is presented. Seven considerations for developing a model of assessment are presented. A four-phase plan for developing a culture of assessment is discussed. The connection between the considerations for developing a model of assessment, the four-phase plan for developing a culture of assessment and the development of the CARI (collect information, analyze data, report findings, and implement changes) model is woven throughout the document. Finally, a background on the research that supports the development of the CARI model and an example of how the model can be used is provided.
