Short, intelligent, all the content of the 2 pound $65 textbooks is right here.....

Even though this book was written in 1997 and is only 87 pages long, it is one of the best books on assessment for a modern teacher, mathematics teacher or other. If math doesn't scare you and you like to figure out analogous practice, it can be a useful general book on student-involved classroom assessment and observational assessment. The writing is well organized, practical, and literate, no jargon. An appendix contains a continuum of math task prototype items of increasing complexity, very useful for designing assessments. I've owned this book for a long time, and used it for classroom and graduate teaching.

Personal Review

I consider this book a creative resource for teachers to use and look at assessment from a different angle. The ideas and techniques used are good sources for use as portfolio tasks. This book makes assessment interesting and at the same time challenging for pupils and teachers.
