`An absolute must for all of us endeavouring to cope with and combat the current climate' - Early Years

This book has three objectives; to identify the essential features of forms of assessment which will be genuinely supportive of education in the early years; to help teachers in their search for such forms; and to evaluate the likely impact of the systems of external assessment currently being imposed.

A very well-written text that helps students understand different types of assessment. It also explains some controversial issues around assessing young children.
