NCLB and assessment

I know that plenty of discussion has been had about the reauthorization of NCLB...particularly in terms of assessment. If there was a way to look at assessments and put additional measures in place, what do you envision they would look like? Would they be videos, writings, portfolios with student works P-16? A combination...and if so, what types? Student voices to measure articulation? Writings to enhance literacy? I am interested in your thoughts (and in any other discussion out "there" about this). Thanks.
