This book provides the ultimate guide to rock climbing in the
United States, suitable for climbers and nonclimbers alike,
covering the technical and physical aspects of the sport as well as
the mental challenges involved. Rock Climbing: The Ultimate Guide
covers the history of rock climbing in the United States from its
origins to the present day, documenting the importance and vitality
of the popular sport. The chapters address topics such as the
technicalities of the equipment and clothing, training methods, key

provide, discussing the meaning of extreme sports in our culture,
issues of gender, why climbing can serve an individual focused on
personal achievement and satisfy those seeking to be part of a

The teacher work sample (TWS) has become increasingly widely
adopted as an end-of-program, performance-based assessment for
student teachers. Improving Teacher Quality offers a comprehensive
introduction to teacher work sample methodology for teacher
educators, student teachers, student teacher supervisors,
cooperating teachers, program coordinators, and school
administrators. This well-organized and clearly written guide shows
how implementation of the TWS can catalyze a series of widespread
changes in assessment, teaching, and program improvement. The
authors use their extensive experience to describe how to implement
the TWS in a carefully sequenced progression that includes creating
a valid and reliable system of scoring, teaching reflective
thinking skills, making program improvements, and conducting
research with TWS data. Helpful suggestions are provided throughout
for those interested in adopting the TWS as a performance-based
assessment in their teacher education program, those interested in
how the TWS can provide evidence of minimal competency, and those
interested in how the TWS can provide data for making program
improvements.
