Assessment In Secondary Schools: The New Teacher's Guide to Monitoring, Assessment, Recording, Reporting and Accountability

Being a student teacher of secondary education I found it very difficult to access books on assessment in secondary schools. Val Brooks has written this book as a guide for all teachers on assessment. There are explanations on formative, summative and diagnostic assessment including how assessment helps teachers with their planning and pupils in their learning. An ideal book for students attending the Bed or PGCE course in teacher education to give them an insight into assessment, it's purpose and helping pupils raise attainment. Many other references are quoted in the book for further reading. An excellent read and not over exemplified with large vocabulary. Well Reccommended as an excellent source of reference.
