Review From reviews of the text: “The text clearly lays out assessment design for beginners. It is clear and easy to read. . . . The overall clarity of the text makes this textbook an important tool in educating pre-service teachers.” Xyanthe Neider, Washington State University “The overall theme of this text is that assessment is a deliberate, thoughtful process done on many levels that can enhance and guide the instructional process. The text moves students from the general (What is assessment?) to the specific (How do you create a multiple choice test that will provide valid and reliable data?), helping students understand the vital connection between instruction and assessment along the way. . . . The focus on assessment for learning . . . is an important way of considering assessment that most students do not think about. . . . As school districts begin using the Common Core standards, incorporating assessment for learning should become an important component of instruction. This text helps students understand the many facets of thinking about assessment this way and helps them learn how to design their assessments to be used in this way.” Leigh Ausband, UNC Charlotte “This text is a valuable addition to . . . classroom assessment textbooks because of its focus on promoting assessment for learning. . . . [M]any existing textbooks do not use this terminology (assessment for, of, and as learning) rather [they] rely on more traditional notions of formative and summative assessment. The newer terminology brings with it more contemporary uses and conceptions of assessment that serve a mandate to support learning through integrated assessments. This message is made clear throughout the text. I also appreciate that the textbook draws on traditional teachings in assessment to establish that assessment for learning does not require a whole new set of assessment techniques. . . . [This text] advances an important (new) mission for educational assessment. I hope it is widely adopted, as I believe it has the capacity to reshape teacher candidates’ conceptions of assessment as a central teaching and learning tool.” Christopher DeLuca, University of South Florida From the Back Cover From reviews of the text: “The text clearly lays out assessment design for beginners.

To order the Enhanced Pearson eText packaged with a bound book, use ISBN 0134289978. A new edition of the acclaimed, best-selling survival guide for teachers struggling to find answers to children’s challenging behavior.

Barbara has consulted with us at Family Communications about our Challenging Behaviors project. Now through this book, people who work closely with young children can benefit from what she and Judy have learned in their search to provide meaningful help to these children. - Fred Rogers, Creator and host of the PBS childrens program, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Wise but eminently practical. What youll learn from reading this book will have a significant positive effect on you as a teacher and on the hundreds of children you will eventually touch. - Sue Bredekamp, author of Developmentally Appropriate Practice in Early Childhood Programs This textbook has been needed for a long time. It pulls together so many aspects of dealing with problem behavior and covers the field very well. It is up to date, accurate, and interesting to read. I particularly appreciate the fact that these authors are dealing with real children, real adults, and real situations. - Dorothy Hewes, San Diego State University The authors scholarship and experience are evident throughout. The direct references to cultural sensitivity are extremely well done. The chapter addressing reflective teaching is also a welcome addition.... Multiple references to various theories and philosophies of intervention provide an effective and eclectic approach. - Diane E.

-Titulo Original : Geography Coloring Book-Fabricante : Pearson-Descripcion Original: For introductory courses in Geography. This unique educational tool introduces the countries of the world and the states of the United States to students. Each section begins with a plate containing a political map, a physical map, and regional maps. Through active participation, by coloring in countries, rivers, regions, etc. (and their respective names), students gain a broader understanding of the material and retain more information. A highly effective, but also enjoyable, way to learn. From the Author AUTHORS NOTE: Previous problems with paper quality have been corrected for this new (3rd) edition. For this book I have hand-drawn and lettered all the maps and names of countries, etc., using the same highly effective coloring format that I created for the highly innovative Anatomy Coloring Book which has sold well over three million copies in this country alone. New features in this edition include the use of extremely bold headings to facilitate content recognition and introductory pages previewing each section. Accompanying the maps of of states, countries, continents, regions, empires, flags, mountain ranges, rivers, etc. are brief, but informative and often fascinating descriptions enhancing the learn while you color process. You can color eight early empires (including the two Islamic) superimposed over modern maps, clearly showing which countries continue to be bear their historic influences. Color thematic maps of the world; each dealing with weather, vegetation, ocean currents, prevailing winds, populations, racial distribution, religions and languages. Similarities among the flags of the world can be observed by coloring them grouped according to the geographic proximity of their countries of origin. An extensive geographical dictionary, defining and identifying the location of each entry, is provided which also can serve as a dual-function quiz. From the Back Cover Wynn Kapit, the designer of the extremely popular Anatomy Coloring Book, has adapted that same coloring format to the subject of geography. This method of learning has proven to be unsurpassed in developing awareness, achieving retention, and experiencing enjoyment. This edition contains: Political maps describing the United States and all the nations of the world according to their regional grouping within a, particular continent. Pertinent data about each state or country, plus fascinating facts of historic, geographic, political, or economic nature. These facts are often related to todays headlines. Physical maps of each continent, illustrating the major rivers, mountain ranges, mountain peaks, and specific land regions. Visual comparisons of size among the countries themselves, as well as to the various states of the United States. Maps, covering larger areas, provide the reader with a bigger picture regarding the location of the country or region under consideration. Maps describing the, transformation of the former Soviet Union into fifteen separate nations, and the former Yugoslavia into five new nations. Thematic maps of the world describing weather, vegetation, ocean currents, prevailing winds, population, racial distribution, religions, and languages.

From the Publisher This classic, authoritative introduction to psychological testing is widely hailed for its broad coverage and ability to cover graduate school topics in terms that college freshmen can understand. It familiarizes students with the basics of test construction and prepares them to effectively evaluate different tests, choose tests for particular purposes and individual examines, and interpret scores properly.
