OverviewProperly constructed tests can help a teacher not only monitor students’ progress, but also help teachers improve their own teaching. This booklet, How Testing Can Help Teaching, supplies a practical demonstration of how you might use tests to clarify the nature of otherwise vague curricular aims, thus giving your students a better opportunity to learn. Mastering Assessment is a set of fifteen practical, easy-to-use booklets covering a wide range of topics related to educational assessment and accountability. These groundbreaking booklets put the most relevant information on assessment at teachers’ fingertips and provide an important resource for educators looking to learn the ins and outs of becoming “assessment literate.” Paired with the series' Facilitator's Guide (available for download at no additional charge from Pearson's Instructor Resource Center), Mastering Assessment is the perfect tool for building assessment literacy in a self-study or a professional development program.
