This well-written book is grounded in the reality of teaching today to show real-world teachers who want to use assessment in their classrooms the latest tools necessary to teach more effectively. Written in Jim Popham's characteristic witty style, the Fourth Edition of Classroom Assessment addresses the range of assessments that teachers are likely to use in their classrooms. Educational assessment has been changed by the forces of accountability and this new edition now addresses the central issue of how classroom assessment can effectively benefit students when carried out in the context of accountability tests. Issues such as the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) that directly impact classroom testing and teaching, are discussed to present readers with a series of practical action options. In addition, the text continues to analyze more traditional issues such as validity and reliability and discusses the alternative assessments used in today's classrooms.
