Assessment in Early Childhood Education (6th Edition)
Written at a non-technical level, this excellent text in measurement and evaluation examines both standardized and informal assessment tools from a developmental perspective, focusing entirely on children between birth and age eight. It discusses strengths and weaknesses of measurement tools in the context of their application with infants, pre-school, and early school-age children...and examines, as well, issues and controversies surrounding assessment of young children. The result is a practical framework for helping future teachers learn to work with young children, and for understanding how changing development affects assessment and evaluation of these children.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
