Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This multiple award-winning presentation is the leading book for assessment that focuses on showing teachers how to develop assessments that accurately reflect student achievement AND how to use those assessments to benefit—not merely grade—student learning. It examines the full spectrum of assessment topics, from articulating targets, through developing quality vehicles, to communicating results effectively—with an exceptionally strong focus on integrating assessment with instruction through student involvement. Throughout the material, a variety of hands-on practice activities provide clear guidance on how to construct all types of assessments while explaining—better than any other book—what kinds of achievement each type can and cannot assess.

This is a great book that truly opens one's eyes to the world of assessment. Stiggins does a great job of breaking different types of assessment down into his chapters. I would definitely recommend this book to any educator!

This text could be helpful to novice and highly experienced teachers. The assessments types are outlined and discussed in good detail and actual examples are illustrated. The very first few chapters define and discuss the nature of assessment and how this will relate to the teacher and their students. Both the teacher and student will benefit from assessment that is well planned in advance. The subsequent few chapters discuss how to plan and develop your assessment plan. The school of thought here seems to be in the variations in difficulty and type of assessment. If teachers are able to change up their assessment routines students will have more ways to demonstrate their knowledge, reasoning skills, performance skills, formative and summative products, and dispositions in the subject material. Four different types of assessment are featured: Selected response, essay, performance, and personal communication. All of these assessment methods can be used as both formal and informal assessments depending on the purpose of assessing a specific skill or set of skills being taught. Overall, I think this is an excellent assessment text for teachers who want to assess their students FOR learning rather than OF learning as discussed in the text.
