This highly respected text offers the most comprehensive discussion of
traditional and alternative assessments of any classroom assessment text—explaining,
giving examples, discussing pros and cons, and showing how to construct virtually all of
the traditional and alternative assessments teachers use in the classroom.
The author explores assessment theories and research findings as they
affect teaching and learning, and examines why, when, and how teachers should use
assessment in the classroom.
To the text's hundreds of practical examples are added checklists to aid in
evaluating assessment vehicles and scores of strategies for assessing higher-order
thinking, critical-thinking, and problem-solving skills.
