Classroom Assessment: What Teachers Need to Know
W. James Popham has spent the majority of his academic career as a teacher. For example, his first teaching job was in a small eastern Oregon high school, where he taught English and social studies while also serving as yearbook advisor, class sponsor, and unpaid tennis coach.
Classroom Assessment, written with clarity and wit, teaches pre- and in-service teachers how to use classroom testing accurately and formatively to drastically boost teaching effectiveness and make a difference in how effectively children learn. In addition to providing clear and straightforward principles for developing and implementing outstanding classroom assessments, the author focuses on the effects of testing on teaching.
Classroom Assessment: What Teachers Need to Know includes an in-depth discussion of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and their impact on classroom assessment, as well as keys for evaluating instructionally diagnostic testing and updated coverage of relevant legislation and policy changes, such as the implications of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) on classroom teachers. A new Testing Takeaway feature and an updated Parent Talk feature introduce meaningful ways to encourage assessment literacy, educate parents, and open up discussions, in addition to enhanced consideration of technology and its implications for classroom assessment. The book is among the best books on educational assessment you should read.
The accompanying Instructor's Resource Manual now includes a new section on Distance-Learning Possibilities. The section goes through particular chapter-by-chapter tactics, activities, and solutions for optimizing distance learning in the face of unusual circumstances.
