This book on classroom assessment closely examines the integration of assessment and instruction. Effective, efficient day-to-day classroom management is emphasized through coverage of what teachers need to know.. This includes time and energy saving ideas, and very clear, practical guidelines on how to construct all types of items and tests—with explanations of what each type of item can and cannot assess. Chapter topics are organized under four major areas—understanding the classroom assessment challenge, understanding assessment methods, classroom applications, and effective communication about student achievement. For teachers who want to learn more about classroom assessment, and for future teachers who will one day need to know how to assess students everyday in their own classrooms.
