School administrators and teachers are being challenged on many
fronts to demonstrate accountability through assessment, from early
childhood through secondary education. Despite an explosion of
demand, the underlying principles of sound assessment such as the
valid use of examination results, their reliability, their
efficiency in terms of teachers' and students' time, and their
ethical use are often neglected. Addressed to in-service and
pre-service teachers and administrators, this book reorders
educational priorities, emphasizing the relation of what is taught
to what is tested, educationally sound and effective preparation
for assessments, exploring alternatives to paper and pencil tests,
the appropriate interpretation and use of test results,
communicating the meaning of assessment results to parents and
communities, and using program evaluation to improve learning. This
book attempts to overcome the negative feelings that some educators
have about classroom and standardized testing. By providing
practical knowledge and real-life examples of how assessment and
evaluation should shape student learning, the book enables readers
to understand how assessment can be a powerful positive force for
good in schools.
