This engaging book addresses classroom assessment as an integral part of instruction rather than a series of isolated tests. It balances theoretical principles and hands-on experiences of relevant assessment techniques that today's teachers must know in order to be effective in the classroom. Includes a new chapter, Interpreting and Using Standardized Tests, that demonstrates from a teacher's perspective how to interpret and evaluate their typical uses. In addition to conventional written tests, the author examines alternative assessment techniques—performance and portfolios assessments, informal observations, and questions. For today's educators and school administrators.
