From the Back Cover:

Ideal for both prospective and practicing teachers, Classroom Assessment is written from the perspective that student evaluation is an integral part of teaching, not something done after instruction to measure what students have learned. This text emphasizes assessment in the context of real classroom examples and decision-making. The book provides Canadian teachers with a concise presentation of assessment principles that clearly and specifically relate to standards-based instruction, current research and new directions in the assessment field, along with practical and realistic examples, suggestions, and case studies.

Review:

The authors’ writing style is good, the examples are most helpful, and explanations are good overall. This style, use of examples and explanations are appropriate for my preservice teachers and beginning teachers. Veteran teachers would also like it as well.
