Riassunto

Assessment is a daily, ongoing, integral part of teaching and learning. Classroom Assessment: Concepts and Applications explores how assessment is a key component of all aspects of the instructional process, including organizing and creating a classroom culture, planning lessons, delivering instruction, and examining how students have grown as result of instruction.

The text also introduces pre-service teachers to new tools and approaches to classroom assessment that result from the infusion of computer-based technologies in schools. This is the most teacher-friendly assessment textbook available―one that will inform a teacher’s assessment practices for years to come.
