From reviews of the text:

"The overall theme of this text is that assessment is a deliberate, thoughtful process done on many levels that can enhance and guide the instructional process. This text moves students from the general (What is assessment?) to the specific (How do you create multiple choice tests that will provide valid and reliable data?) . . . . The focus on assessment for learning . . . is an important way of considering assessment that most students do not think about."

Leigh Ausband, UNC Charlotte

"I believe this text] has the capacity to reshape teacher candidates' conceptions of assessment as a central teaching and learning tool."

Christopher DeLuca, University of South Florida

"This text lays out assessment design for beginners. It is clear and easy to read.... The overall clarity of the text makes this textbook an important tool in educating pre-service teachers."

Xyanthe Neider, Washington State University
