Intended to show how assessment measures can be applied easily to real-life, day-to-day teaching situations, this text teaches students basic assessment principles and issues, and helps them interpret the quality and usefulness of specific measures. Adopting a jargon-free, applications oriented approach, the text includes historical data as well as current trends in testing. Strong coverage of "hot" topics in assessment, such as "authentic" assessment approaches, national trends in achievement s cores, minimum competency testing, the use of tests to certify teacher competence, and the use of microcomputers in classroom and school testing.
