What Teachers Need to Know about Assessment and Reporting

Assessment and reporting is a response to the pressures on teachers and schools not only to improve the quality of teaching, but also to demonstrate improved outcomes. Many teachers apply assessment approaches that are familiar from their own education or that are learnt from peers. This book seeks to fill the gaps in teacher knowledge about assessment and reporting and to provide practical support for teachers and school teachers. Exploring assessment from the perspectives of classroom, school, system and nation, it provides straightforward explanations of the complementary relationships of the different perspectives. A collaboration between an ex-school principal and a university academic, this book provides practical information in the context of sound research. It explores the various purposes of assessment along with practical guidance on creating and scoring assessments, interpreting and using data and reporting the results to various audiences for various purposes. -- from back cover.
