Assessment is not only a measure of student learning, but a means to student learning. Teacher-Made Assessments, Third Edition, guides you in constructing and using your own classroom assessments, including tests, quizzes, essays, and performance-based assessments to improve teaching and learning in the classroom. You will learn how to weave together curriculum, instruction, and student learning to make assessment a more natural, useful part of teaching.
Find out how to:
- ensure your assessments are valid, reliable, and fair;
- construct assessments that meet the level of cognitive demand expected of students;
- create selected-response items and understand technology-enhanced items now common in assessment;
- use constructed-response items and develop scoring criteria such as rubrics;
- develop performance assessments that align with more complex learning expectations; and,
- analyze student results on assessments and use feedback more effectively with your students.
This substantively revised new edition addresses the benefits of instructionally sensitive assessment; the continuing evolution of technology-enhanced items; the integral contributions of teachers’ practices to district-level assessment systems; strategies and examples of using generative AI to create assessments; and the important role of authentic performance-based assessments in teaching and learning in the 21st century.
Written with busy teachers and instructional leaders in mind, Teacher-Made Assessments is filled with clear ideas and loads of examples. No matter what grade level or subject area you teach, this practical, bestselling book will become your go-to resource for designing effective assessments.
