The pragmatic nature of the  book makes it a valuable resource for administrators and staff  developers interested in designing professional development programs,  and for science teachers looking for techniques and examples of  classroom-based assessments. Unique features of \u003cem\u003eAssessment in  Science\u003c\/em\u003e include: 1) practical strategies and tools for implementing  successful professional development programs in science assessment, 2)  teacher stories and case studies about classroom-based assessment  practice and how these teachers changed their assessment practice, 3)  examples of classroom-based assessments and scoring guides, 4) samples  of student work with teacher commentary, and 5) examples of how the  national reform documents in science education served as tools in  professional development programs and in designing classroom-based  assessments. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAssessment in Science\u003c\/em\u003e expands the existing literature on science  assessment by sharing a model for professional development, and  examples of teacher-developed assessments with accompanying student  work and teacher commentary. Chapters written by science teachers tell  how they assess students and how they have changed their assessment  practice, as well as how changing assessment practice has resulted in  a change in their science instruction. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAssessment in Science\u003c\/em\u003e is targeted at practising professionals in  science education: administrators, staff developers, science teachers,  and university science educators. \u003cem\u003eAssessment in Science\u003c\/em\u003e has  applicability to graduate-level courses in science education and  in-service courses for science teachers. The teacher chapters are also  appropriate for use in undergraduate science methods courses to  illustrate classroom-based assessments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792370949\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370949\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0802-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 264\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341216870540,"sku":"9780792370949","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370949_2680463b-fbfc-430d-a28a-b98b361f064b.jpg?v=1755060478","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792370949","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
