| Summary |
"This book is based on the belief that decision making is perhaps the most critical of all teaching skills, and that good assessments lie at the core of good decision making. To become better teachers then, teachers must learn to make informed decisions about both individual students (learning decisions) and about groups of students (teaching decisions). This book gives equal status to both types of decisions and shows how assessment is integral to both."--BOOK JACKET |
