Product Description
Review
"The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the issues central to the practice of assessment. Teachers, administrators, and other educators are exposed to the critical aspects of assessment and to the core issues of future decisions concerning the roles and directions of assessment in schools. .The books could be effectively used as a supplement to a more comprehensive text or as a resource in a course on general educational topics. The structure of the book, which also makes it accessible to parents and other concerned parties, could be used to guide discussions concerning assessment at both school an government levels.."

Written in a user-friendly, jargon-free style, this text provides the reader with points of growth or change in the field of assessment. Each chapter in the text ends with a section on questions/exercises and further reading.

Good but...British
4 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with the point made above: "a comprehensive introduction to the issues central to the practice of assessment. Teachers, administrators, and other educators are exposed to the critical aspects of assessment...." But it is not clear that the author is talking about assessment in Britain with just occasional reference to assessment in the USA. The conceptual coverage seems good but the examples given require students and instructor to constantly search for a comparable assessment in the USA. This can interfere with the actual learning. If the book is used as a refresher with teachers and administrators who already have experience with a variety of assessments it may work better but it is not for those inexperienced in assessment in US schools.
