"It is my sincere wish that the teachers of those thousands of
children, who increasingly are also teacher educators, read and
learn from Assessing Children s Learning. The hope is that they
will go on to make a reality of the imaginary but not impossible
classroom and make moral judgements and choices in the best
interests of children." - Sue Swaffield, Senior Lecturer -
Educational Leadership and School Improvement, University of
Cambridge, UK
"Not all education books are worth a tired teacher s spare time.
This one is." - Times Educational Supplement, from a review of the
first edition
Now featuring a brand new foreword by Sue Swaffield, this
classic text, Assessing Children s Learning, examines some of the
vital questions that teachers and other educators ask themselves as
they assess children s learning across the curriculum.
The author sets out to offer an alternative to objective,
mechanical approaches to assessment; she defines assessment as a
process in which teachers look at children s learning, strive to
understand it, and then put their understanding to good use in the
classroom where children are given both trust and freedom to learn.
Throughout the book, teachers are invited to consider the choices
they make in the process of assessment, and to acknowledge their
right, their responsibility and their power to act in the interests
of children.
Now part of the Routledge Education Classic Edition Series, this
influential, inspiring and timely book will introduce the ideas of
Mary Jane Drummond to a new generation of teachers, practitioners
and other education professionals.
