This multiple award-winning presentation is the leading book for assessment that focuses on showing teachers how to develop assessments that accurately reflect student achievement AND how to use those assessments to benefit--not merely grade--student learning. It examines the full spectrum of assessment topics, from articulating targets, through developing quality vehicles, to communicating results effectively--with an exceptionally strong focus on integrating assessment with instruction through student involvement. Throughout the material, a variety of hands-on practice activities provide clear guidance on how to construct all types of assessments while explaining--better than any other book--what kinds of achievement each type can and cannot assess.
