For a course on assessment in kindergarten and the primary grades. While retaining its strong emphasis on child growth and development, this edition has been expanded to include new information on learner-centered approaches. Also featured are a variety of strategies to observe, follow, and assess individual child achievements. The book still encourages practitioners to explore alternatives to standardized testing, thus implementing authentic assessment practices. This text is based on the idea that teaching, learning, and assessment are parts of a single ongoing process that provides meaningful, authentic learning experiences for children.
