Student Assessment for Educators
About the Book Series
The Student Assessment for Educators series, edited by Drs. James H. McMillan and Heidi L. Andrade, includes volumes that focus on how assessment is used by K-12 teachers and administrators to improve student learning and motivation. The goal of the series is for teachers to internalize a deep understanding of why specific, targeted uses of assessment are effective in impacting students, with examples, so that individual teachers will be able to use the implications and suggestions in their unique contexts and in line with their own teaching style and student needs.
The individual volume topics are based on rich theoretical and research foundations and tied to the realities of what teachers need to do with assessment data. That is, they are not selected by how assessment is conducted, but by how assessment is used by pedagogically and data and assessment literate teachers to document and improve student learning and motivation. Each of the volumes is 100-200 book pages, featuring five to eight chapters. The writing style is engaging, conversational, yet scholarly. Series authors are acknowledged international experts in student assessment who can bridge research and theory with practice in a way that deepens understanding and connects meaningfully with practitioners.
