Book Description

January 29, 2009 0547134371 978-0547134376 11
As the standard professional resource in the field, ASSESSMENT IN SPECIAL AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION, 11th Edition, offers basic assessment information along with a handbook-style reference of actual reviews of the tests most administered in K-12 schools. Completely up to date, the Eleventh Edition takes a new "dual approach"--teaching readers how to do assessments correctly as well as how to use assessment information to enhance student competence. It educates those who assess students to broaden their labors from efforts designed to make predictions about students' lives to efforts designed to make a difference in the lives of the students they serve.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The case study material included in the chapters I reviewed is very good and will be a tremendous help to bridging the gap from knowledge to application."

"I think this version is much more reader-friendly, and like the way some items were summarized in table or bullet format rather than going into lengthy descriptions. … When I used previous editions students complained about how lengthy and technical it was; but, I don't think such criticism would occur with this version."

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a keeper., August 7, 2009
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Assessment: In Special and Inclusive Education (Paperback)
With all the resource books available, this is one I will keep. The reading is practical and to the point. The information is well presented giving you a good foundation in assessment. Also it is a good resource for those of you who are planning to take their CST-children with disabilities exam.
And the best thing was the price, I paid well below the asking price at my school and at Barnes and Noble. I purchased a used copy that was in excellent condition! Thanks!
