Mastering Assessment: A Self-Service System for Educators, 2/e (hereafter referred to as MA) is a set of 15 booklets intended to be the grist for a wide variety of professional development programs focused on educational assessment. Each of the MA booklets was deliberately written to permit a one- sitting or two- sittings reading by busy educators. The resultant brevity of the MA booklets, coupled with their being provided as separate documents, is intended to provide users of the MA system with considerable latitude in determining how best to use the booklets. A Facilitator's Guide is available to guide educators in using the 15 booklets in their professional development programs and can be downloaded at no additional charge from Pearson's Instructor Resource Center.

A child's affect is every bit as important as--if not more important than--his or her cognitive accomplishments.

Assessing Student Affect, Mastering Assessment: A Self-Service System for Educators, Pamphlet 2

The pressure to raise students’ test scores has never been higher, and this pressure may be most keenly felt by teachers of students with disabilities. Should teachers reduce assessment expectations for these youngsters and thereby abandon any realistic hope for attaining a child’s full potential? Or should teachers employ accommodations and alternate assessment tactics that, even if signifi cant, will often lead to failure for the child? This booklet, Assessing Students with Disabilities, explores key dimensions of this vexing dilemma. The MASTERING ASSESSMENT series is a set of fifteen practical, easy-to-use booklets covering a wide range of topics related to educational assessment and accountability. These groundbreaking booklets put the most relevant information on assessment at teachers’ fingertips and provide an important resource for educators looking to learn the ins and outs of becoming “assessment literate.” Paired with the series' F acilitator's Guide (available for download at no additional charge from Pearson's Instructor Resource Center), Mastering Assessment is the perfect tool for building assessment literacy either in self-study or a professional development program.
