Norman E. Gronlund - C. Keith Waugh

Assessment of Student Achievement, 9/e

Now in a fresh ninth edition, this respected resource gives teachers the information they need to develop high-quality assessments to use in their classrooms. Norman E. Gronlund and new co-author C. Keith Waugh present a balanced, concise, and practical guide for testing and performance assessment that is rooted in effective classroom instruction and learning. Their approach emphasizes testing as well as performance evaluation–each used when it is most appropriate–as integral steps that improve student learning and ultimately build student success. With more examples, new recommended reading, and an expanded discussion of how assessment informs instruction, this book offers the strongest strategies to assess and then build the skills of all learners.
