contents Moving from Critical Assessment to Assessment as Care Arellano Douglas, Veronica Critical Theory Feminism Evaluation Methods Library Science Ethics Caring Holistic Approach Value Judgment Librarians In "Teaching Against the Grain: Critical Assessment in the Library Classroom," Maria Accardi sought a critical, feminist approach to assessment that questioned power structures, celebrated learners, and found strength in diverse perspectives and voices. This article expands on Accardi's work to explore a care-based assessment framework rooted in the foundations of critical assessment, relational-cultural theory, and critical generosity. This includes a critique of the current language of assessment in library and information science literature and higher education; an examination of models for more caring versions of assessment (particularly those from other feminized professions); and a reframing of the conversation around assessment from one of demonstrating value to one of embodying a value of care and connection in learning for both students and librarians.
