Summary

The Handbook of Classroom Assessment takes a multi-dimensional approach to classroom assessment. A successful combination of theory and practice, the book emphasizes the assessment of classroom learning within content areas and the development of standards for evaluation. Most chapters are devoted to the assessment of learning and achievement and discuss current theories. The book also features assessment of academic self-concept and subjective well-being in children and adolescents. The Handbook provides successfully field-tested examples of assessment techniques and strategies within the content areas of mathematics, social studies, foreign languages, and the visual arts. Contributing chapter authors share the unique distinction of having backgrounds that include both the development of assessment theory and first hand experience translating theory into practice at the classroom, school site, state, or national level. The book is divided into four sections. Section I discusses the top five theories with respect to what learning is, how it's related to achievement, and how we assess both in the classroom setting. Section II on standardized assessment briefly covers all major standardized achievement tests used in preschool, K-6, and 7-12. Assessment of classroom learning, Section III, presents test instruments and techniques specific to the measurement of math skills, social science skills, and artistic talent across ages and grades. Section IV on classroom practices includes an assessment of general reasoning skills and performance and how to develop a grading philosophy.

Choice Review

Packed with information, Phye's volume summarizes recent research and policy about a crucial, highly controversial aspect of K-12 education. Sections cover theory and policy, classroom and large scale assessment, assessment in preschool, mathematics, social studies, foreign language and arts (but not language arts or science), as well as special topics such as portfolio assessment and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Chapters vary in quality (one brief multiple choice survey cannot adequately describe teachers' knowledge of assessment) but provide excellent reviews of research literature and examples of practice, illustrate the complexity of assessment, and stress the need for multiple sources of data for any coherent, valid assessment system. The distinction between assessment for and by classroom teachers (assessing learning) and a large scale assessment for policy purposes (assessing achievement) is made repeatedly. A chapter on the role of standardized achievement tests in grades K-12 does not even discuss testing in K-2 because "the appropriateness of [such] tests for the youngest students is currently an area of great disagreement." This position, widely accepted by theorists, would surprise millions of children and their teachers, who routinely encounter such tests. Excellent for researchers, faculty, and highly motivated professionals, the book is unlikely to appeal to many practicing teachers. G. E. Hein; Lesley College
