Measure student performance is a critically important aspect of public and private education today. In "Measurement And Teaching", author and academician Patrick W. Miller draws upon his 29 years of teaching university classes in academic assessment and evaluation to provide classroom instructors at all grade levels with a wealth of practical, applicable instruction on how to prepare assessment instruments to properly evaluate the academic performance of their students. "Measurement And Teaching" provides teachers with up-to-date guidelines, procedures, techniques, and examples with respect to developing quality tests that accurately measure student achievement and learning outcomes. Enhanced with 500 sample test items in twenty curriculum areas, 100 review questions and answers to stimulate learning; 120 checklist questions for evaluating test items, 150 illustrations and examples, 60 exercises on test development and analyses, 75 glossary terms for quick reference, and 60 invaluable resources (including thematically appropriate websites), "Measurement And Teaching" is an informed and informative contribution to the field of education and a strongly recommended addition to Teacher College reference collections, Student Teacher supplemental reading lists, and School District Teacher In-Service Training educational resources.
