Customer Reviews

An Excellent Textbook

Hi, This book has many attractive features for all educators, especially the educational leaders for the following reasons, 1) The writing style of the author "Popham" is clear, short, easy to follow, simple, and sometimes funny. 2) The chapters are logically designed. 3) The textbook is useful even for teachers. 4) The examples provided are practical. I am an online doctoral learner with the University of Phoenix (UoP) Online and this textbook is a required source for one of my courses. Although I have to read certain chapters as they are required for my course, I am going to read the whole book. The book is always with me wherever I go and whenever I have a chance to read I read. My advice to all educators is get one copy of it. It is worth to buy it!!

Educational Assessment

The book is written with some humor and is very readable. Assessment is a very dry subject, at least for me, so the light style is welcome.

Practical Assessment Tools

I am coordinator of secondary student teaching at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri. I found this book to be very practical and informative for educators in terms of how to use assessment results. It provides examples and scenarios so that the reader can make practical use of what is being taught. William H. Blackburn, Ph.D.
