Description
Developing Teachers' Assessment Capacity by Christopher DeLuca and Sandra Johnson provides a foundation for innovative thinking about assessment education. Given the growing accountability context of educational systems worldwide, there is a pressing need to educate teachers in effectively using assessments to promote student learning. Historically, assessment has been a neglected area in teacher education programmes, with empirical research consistently showing it as an area of challenge for many teachers. This book consolidates existing research on assessment education and aims to provoke novel approaches to educating teachers about assessment. It also considers the matter of retention and extension of initial assessment learning into teaching careers. The articles in this text provide a comprehensive framework for developing teachers' assessment capacity, from pre-service to in-service contexts.
