This volume was conceived as a ""best practices"" resource for
assessment in the way that Vocabulary Myths by Keith S. Folse is
one for reading and vocabulary teachers. Like others in the Myths
series, this book combines research with good pedagogical
practices. The book opens with an introduction that reviews many
key assessment terms and concepts. The myths examined in this book
are: Assessment is just writing tests and using statistics. A
comprehensive final exam is the best way to evaluate students.
Scores on performance assessments are preferable because of their
accuracy and authenticity. Multiple choice tests are inaccurate
measures of language but are easy to write. We should test only one
skill at a time. A test's validity can be determined by looking at
it. Issues of fairness are not a concern with standardized testing.
Teachers should never be involved in preparing students for tests.
Implications for teaching and an agenda for research are discussed
in a conclusion.
