Effective Assessment in Schools, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book provides students, teachers, and researchers with a deeper examination of educational assessment fundamentals and examines assessment beyond (best) practices. The authors go beyond simply updating what is best practice assessment by understanding "best practices" in a way that will hold true for the future, especially in the wake of the drastic disruptions in these past few years.

Covering key topics of inclusive assessment, psychosocial impacts and wellbeing of students, and assessment in the age of technological proliferation and artificial intelligence, this book is divided into four sections: (1) "Assessment fit for the future in schools, for society", (2) "Assessment literacy and leadership", (3) "Theories and technicalities of assessment", and (4) "Assessment for all learners in schools and society". By the end of the book, readers will have nuanced understandings of the complexities of assessment issues that can enable a re-examination of what is fundamental to assessment and learning in schools, and how that prepares our learners for uncertain futures in society.

This book is a must-read for teachers, school leaders, policy makers, and researchers looking to reflect critically on their assessment practices and consider new ways of formulating assessment that is fit for all learners in schools, and beyond.
