Reviews / Votes
Damien Murchan and Gerry Shiel have provided an invaluable resource for both qualified and student teachers. The authors have written a text which drills down under the surface of practice facilitating the understanding of the fundamental underpinning theoretical constructs of assessment. Supported by case studies, thought-provoking questions and supplemental material on the accompanying website, this volume will contribute to a more informed professional body and more effective practice in the classroom. -- Mhairi Beaton Damian Murchan and Gerry Shiel have written a brilliantly organised, practical and in-depth book on all the key aspects of assessment that teachers are likely to encounter throughout their professional careers. While the book and its companion website will demand reflection and active engagement, readers can expect to be richly rewarded in terms of gaining a more sophisticated understanding of how assessment can be used to enhance teaching and learning in every classroom. -- Michael O'LearyMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
