White's new edition of Teaching and Assessing Writing retains its place as the best one-source examination of issues and techniques. Sensible, thorough, even-handed--it is useful for both the novice teacher and the experienced administrator in designing writing classes and programs that can serve many kinds of students fairly.@PQS:?Richard Lloyd Jones, professor of English, University of Iowa

White's Teaching and Assessing Writing was called "required reading for the profession" when it was published in 1985. White draws especially on new knowledge about assessment to offer effective methods of evaluation and feedback. And he shows how the use of assessment by teachers can greatly assist the process of learning to write.
