As the standard, professional resource in the field, this text offers basic assessment information and a handbook of actual reviews of the tests most often administered in K-12/primary schools. Assessment is recognised for its honest and even-handed reviews of common standardised tests administered by assessment personnel, including achievement, intelligence, language, maths and reading. The text also helps teachers and school psychological personnel become more informed consumers and users of these tests. Finally, it includes comprehensive coverage of both standardised (formal) and classroom (informal) assessment, such as portfolio assessment, outcome-based assessment, observation, ecological assessment, and teacher-made tests.
