Multifaceted Assessment for Early Childhood Education Reviews

I have every intention of using the text. It is the best one I've ever read. I really think this will help my students put all these little parts together and have a deeper understanding of assessment practices. The text is really excellent. -- Kathryn Sharp
I think the casepoints, websites, and examples of assessments would be helpful for pre-service teachers. This text would also be a good reference for teachers who are in the field due to its many resources. -- Beth Satterfield
It gives a comprehensive view of assessment that is easily understood. It delineates the issues surrounding assessment in a way that makes it possible for students to get the big picture. It helps them develop their own thinking about standardized and informal assessments. -- Susan Johns
