Classroom Assessment: Principles and Practice for Effective Instruction (2nd Edition)

Classroom Assessment embodies 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 of the book is designed to provide prospective and practicing teachers with: (1) a concise presentation of assessment principles that clearly and specifically relate to instruction; (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. For those who need to use classroom assessment techniques.
