This Is a Test

We know the importance of assessing our students, both to inform instruction and to note progress. But how do you write a test that actually assesses what you want it to? In this book, veteran testing professional Jan Gleiter breaks down the most common problems test-writers faceand tells you how to solve those problems as you craft assessment. Walter MacGinitie, author of the Gates-MacGinitie Reading tests, praises the book, saying that it has the potential to bring about a genuine improvement in testing. It gives sound general advice and sensible specific guidance, using many clear examples to show how test questions and testing practices can be improved. The writing is fresh and direct, making the principles easy to understand and follow"".
