Assessment in an Inquiry Classroom

What is assessment?      
How can we assess student learning in an inquiry classroom? 
What are some resources for further information?

How one person's abilities compare in quantity with those of another
is none of the teacher's business. It is irrelevant to his work. 
What is required is that every individual shall have opportunities to
employ his own powers in activities that have meaning. 
Mind, individual method, originality (these are convertible terms) signify
the quality of purposive or directed action.
 - John Dewey , Democracy and Education, 1916; MW 9:179
