Proven techniques for integrating assessment with teaching and learning!
Demonstrating how to use assessment successfully to achieve broad educational goals, this user-friendly resource helps teachers, administrators, and other school personnel understand how to apply essential assessment concepts in their schools. In this updated guide, James H.

The author discusses the principles of testing, including validity, reliability, and fairness, and helps educators
- Develop high-quality summative and formative assessments
- Understand and use data to improve assessment and learning
- Prepare students for state and national standardized tests
Assessment Essentials for Standards-Based Education, Second Edition features two new chapters covering different assessment techniques and methods—including constructed-response and closed-end assessments—and grading practices in the context of standards-based education.
