teacher interviews illustrate assessment techniques in action.

From Reviews of the Book

“The text goes into more depth
about targets/standards, formative assessment and special education
assessment than my current text. . . . I think the chapters about
writing actual test items are exceptional.  The examples, the
content, and the explanations are all clear and
practical.”
--Kristen Bjork, University of Nevada -

“In selection of this text when I
was initially choosing, I liked the in-depth coverage of
performance assessments and rubrics, I also liked the level of the
language . . . this book was informative but an easy
read.”
