There are several strategies for advancing the transition to safer chemicals: prohibition strategies, aversion strategies, and safer chemical strategies. The safer chemical strategy relies on assessing the alternatives available for substituting or replacing chemicals of concern and adopting those that meet acceptable performance and cost criteria and are safer. Chemical action planning and alternatives assessment are new tools that can be employed to help guide safer alternative selection and implementation. Alternatives assessment can include hazard assessment, performance assessment, cost assessment, exposure assessment, material management assessment, life cycle assessment and social impact assessment.Less

Chapter 5 introduces alternative assessment and explains how it supports learning. While explaining the meaning of alternative assessment, other terms which can cause confusion have also been clarified. Special attention is given to self and peer assessment, as it can be used together with many different types of assessment strategies. A number of assessment strategies which are related to alternative assessment and commonly used in the classroom are discussed, including portfolio, learning contract, concept map, project, exhibition, interview and observation. To help teachers make good decisions, a number of principles for selecting assessment strategies are expounded.Less
