Publisher Synopsis
'Beginners will find this book a comprehensive and accessible introduction to performance assessment. Seasoned test developers will find it a valuable resource, with useful checklists, guidelines, and nuts-and-bolts discussions of topics ranging from content standards to training raters, as well as pointers to the most up-to-date developments in the field.' - Edward H. Haertel, Stanford University 'Loaded with exceptionally strong examples, models, and even to-do lists to aid in implementation. This superb book should be on every test and assessment specialist's bookshelf or desk - it certainly will be on mine!" - Barbara Plake, University of Nebraska-Lincoln 'The book makes transparent to readers the key steps in the development, implementation, and maintenance of a high-quality performance assessment system. I highly recommend this volume to practitioners, policy makers, and university instructors. Performance assessment has come of age, and this book showcases psychometrically and professionally defensible practices and approaches.' - George Engelhard, Jr., Emory University 'This book fills a very important need in our field. As performance assessments increase in use, it is especially important to have a text like this one to provide guidance for thoughtful, systematic design and administration of this type of assessment. The frequent use of well-developed examples across practice areas is a definite strength. I also really like the to-do lists at the ends of the chapters!' - J. Christine Harmes, James Madison University 'Having worked on this topic for many years, I found this book the best one-stop shop for getting to know all the major issues and controversies in the field... The engaging, elegant writing style and concise yet substantive coverage makes it a valuable text for graduate courses.' - John Hattie, University of Auckland "There is not a great deal on performance assessments in the traditional body of assessment literature. This meticulously researched book fosters a comprehensive understanding of this complex facet of assessment. The authors offer invaluable insight into the process of creating valid and reliable performance assessments. Through careful scaffolding, they lead the reader to greater proficiency in assessment design and implementation." - Molly Drake Shiffler, Cardinal Stritch University "Johnson, Penny, and Gordon have written the definitive book on assessing performance. Theory and practice are linked in this comprehensive, highly readable, well-written work. In clinical settings, this book can facilitate assessment and program evaluation to measure treatment outcomes and effectiveness. Destined to be a classic reference." - Ellen B. Braaten, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School Read more...
