A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

“This text gets the important points about classroom assessment across to students in a simple straightforward manner.”
E. Michael Nussbaum
University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Classroom Assessment: Principles and Practice for Effective Instruction, 3/e provides prospective and current teachers with a practical guide to conducting a full range of high quality assessments. This book emphasizes assessment in the context of the realities of teaching and teacher decision-making, as well as on how assessment is integrated with instruction.

Considerable emphasis is placed on the nature of learning targets and how different assessments are most appropriate for different targets. Suggestions for effective practice, examples and case studies are presented for each assessment technique. Separate chapters on contemporary assessment techniques and issues, such as performance and portfolio assessments, as well as separate chapters on assessing affective targets and students with disabilities are included. A balance is provided with traditional forms of assessment and the need for teachers to administer, interpret, and use results from standards-based, large-scale assessments and other standardized tests.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Classroom Assessmentembodies the notion that student evaluation is an integral part of teaching, not something merely done after instruction to measure what students have learned.

The second edition is designed to provide prospective and practicing teachers with: (1) a concise presentation of principles that clearly and specifically relate assessment to instruction and to high-stakes accountability systems; (2) current research and new directions in the field of assessment; and (3) practical and realistic examples and suggestions. The book's emphasis is on helping teachers understand the importance of establishing credible performance standards, communicating these standards to students, and providing feedback to students on their progress.
