The New World of Assessment: Teaching in a Digital World is designed to provide current and future K-12 teachers with an introduction to the essential concepts and principles of student assessment and evaluation. The book examines trends in testing, namely, psychological, standardized, and achievement tests, and the rationale and assumptions underlying these assessments. It provides readers with helpful information regarding traditional paper-and-pencil methods of assessment, as well as newer methods, including online assessment. The text begins by defining assessment and discussing its various approaches. Later chapters examine selected-response tests, constructed-response tests, formative and summative assessments, the edTPA, and more. The text stresses the importance of using practical, hands-on assessment in the K-12 classroom setting and provides helpful tips and effective strategies for successfully implementing assessment in the teaching and learning process. The New World of Assessment is well-suited for undergraduate or graduate educational assessment courses focused on K-12 teaching. It can also be used by novice and seasoned teachers alike.Nicole Luongo earned her B.S. in elementary education from Bucknell University, her M.A.E. in administration and supervision from Seton Hall University, and her Ed.D. in instructional technology and distance education from Nova Southeastern University.
