This book is a natural step beyond our earlier text A Teacher’s Guide to Assessment, which was published almost six years ago. The purpose of this book is to offer a straightforward guide to educational assessment for teachers at all levels of education, including trainers and instructors.
The text provides a largely non-quantitative introduction to criterion-referenced assessment. Technical details are relegated to the appendices. This text is published under the Social Science Press imprint by Thomson Learning in Australia.
Based on extensive research, this book is filled with illustrative, down-to-earth examples of how classroom assessment works in classrooms where assessment drives the instruction.
Offers suggestions for creating performance tasks for math, science, language arts, social studies, performance arts, and interdisciplinary curriculums, including portfolios, exhibitions, and written assignments.
This handy guide covers the basics of authentic and standardized assessments.
When teachers adopt standards-based learning, students take ownership of their education and achievement soars.
Understand how to develop student ownership through the setting of goals, and access free downloadable reproducibles available with this book.
Assessment and Feedback in Higher Education aims to solve these problems. Offering a concise overview of assessment theory and practice, this guide provides teachers with the help they need.
