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. McMillan offers examples from K-12 classrooms and illustrates how educators can create the critical feedback loop that reveals what students know, what to teach next, and which methods best assess student learning.

The second edition of Essential Assessment Concepts for Teachers and Administrators shows teachers how to effectively incorporate the assessment process with teaching and learning for both classroom-focused assessments and externally mandated standardized tests. 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.
