Taylor (exceptional student education, Florida Atlantic U.) presents an updated textbook for pre- and in-service educators reflecting the new laws, philosophies, and assessment instruments and techniques which have come about since publication of the seventh edition in 2006. The eighth edition includes expanded information on accommodations and alternative assessment; new information on the role of assessment in No Child Left Behind; new information on Response to Intervention and its use during the assessment process; updated references and reviews of literature on norm-referenced tests; descriptions of several new tests and deletions of lesser-used ones; additional examples of determining basals and ceilings using real tests; and increased emphasis on application, interpretation, and decision making.
