Editorial Reviews

Janette Bowen
“A rare opportunity for the new generation of educators to learn alongside an experienced educator to integrate all learning styles into assessments. Principals should consider this for faculty book studies. The presented techniques will, no doubt, raise standardized test scores while teachers continue to present real curriculum.”
Erin E. Barton
"Middle and secondary teachers will find this book extremely useful. It flows logically through the assessment process with a plethora of examples for a range of students."
