What you need to know about where assessment is headed today!
Interactive Assessment::
Teachers, Parents, and Students as Partners
Robert J. Tierney, University of British Columbia; Thomas P. Crumpler, Illinois State University; Cynthia D. Bertelsen, Bowling Green State University and Ernest L. Bond, Salisbury University
See how you can use assessment to inform teaching and learning, encourage self-monitoring of progress and achievement, and open space for ongoing goal setting - with this authoritative new book! Designed to expand your thinking about assessment, while serving as a tool for more effective decision making, this guide and accompanying CD-ROM let you see just how to do assessment with the stakeholders, rather than to them. It shows you how to make the all-important shift to an interactive approach to assessment that positively affects your roles and relationships with students, their parents, caregivers, and other interested parties.

Divided into four parts, each focusing on the authors' interactive model of assessment, the guide gives you an important overview of assessment and includes information on alternative forms of assessment . . . helps you deal with the physical artifacts of assessment, such as reports and digital portfolios . . . helps you develop effective assessment conversations between parents, teachers, and students . . . and presents an informative conclusion as a roundtable discussion with the authors on the work presented in the book.
