The New Art and Science of Classroom Assessment (Authentic Assessment Methods and Tools for the Classroom) (The New Art and Science of Teaching)
Part of The New Art and Science of Teaching series
Shift to a new paradigm of classroom assessment that is more accurate, meaningful, and authentic. The New Art and Science of Classroom Assessment explores the inadequacies of traditional assessment methods and details how to use classroom assessment to its full potential. Step by step, the authors outline a clear path for transitioning to more holistic assessment methods that truly reflect course curriculum and student progress.
