Assessment for Equity and Inclusion Embracing All Our Children [Hardcover]

How students are assessed can determine not only the quality, type, and degree of education they receive, but has long-term consequences for their future. Assessment by standardized testing often labels poor and minority children in ways that exclude them from opportunities, while failing to measure their true potential. Assessmentfor Equity and Inclusionconfronts the debate between standardized testing and alternative assessment methods, locating strategies of assessment by which students are included rather than excluded.
