Elementary Teachers-Check this Out!

At last! Here is a practical book for elementary teachers that covers all the critical issues of an assessment text, yet reads as easily has a self-help book. The Stricklnds have obviously spent time in actual classrooms with real teachers. They explain multiple authentic assessment strategies and give teachers permission to "tweek" them so that they work for young students. The CD Rom alone is worth the price of the book. Every checklist, rubric, survey, etc. that is in the text is available as a template for the buyer to personalize and copy for classroom use. I'm using this book to review for the National Teacher Certification and am finding it invaluable.
