Assessment in Early Childhood Education is written from a developmental perspective. It provides current and future teachers alike with a comprehensive overview of all aspects of early childhood assessment, including the different possibilities available (far more than standardized tests) and how to use them most effectively for the benefit of the children in your classrooms. Both traditional and authentic teacher-designed assessments are explained for preschool children and for kindergarten and 3rd grade children who are transitioning into literacy.

The 8th Edition has been updated with new learning features, a new chapter about technology, Common Core and State Standards information, important organizational changes and more.
