Quality Assessment in High Schools: Accounts for Teachers

Quality Assessment in High Schools: Accounts From Teachers, edited by Anne Davies, Sandra Herbst, and Kathy Busick, offers techniques and firsthand strategies for creating systems of assessment that target high school students’ needs and engage them in the learning process. Chapters are authored by educators in a variety of disciplines, including English, mathematics, social studies, science, alternative education, world languages, philosophy, and humanities. These educators share practical examples from their own practice to help readers increase the efficacy of their assessment practices and motivate students to take ownership of their learning. This resource is divided into three parts. Part one prepares teachers for learning, teaching, and assessment. Part two shows educators how to engage students using assessment. Finally, part three prepares educators to evaluate and report assessment.
