This is a practically-oriented text that utilizes current issues as a way to engage students and illustrate the relevance and importance of assessment. This text focuses on a teacherÆs needs and on assessment solely in the classroom environment. Since many assessment texts today are written by experts in statistics and cover the topic of assessment in many settings with complicated terminology, the practical approach of ASSESSMENT IN THE CLASSROOM appeals to instructors who find it difficult to get their students interested in the subjects of testing and measurement. The authors detail traditional testing methods as well as newer forms of "alternative assessment," which evaluates students on their abilities to use their knowledge in realistic situations. Areas covered include: the history of measurement in education, basic concepts, how to assess, what to assess, assessment procedures, and external testing programs, as well as how to set up and measure the latest portfolio assessment method. Many sample forms and examples of various types of assessment provided.

Beautiful Bad: A Novel

It seemed like such a beautiful marriage… Maddie and Ian’s love story began at a party overseas, while she was visiting her best friend, Jo. Now, almost two decades later, they are married with a beautiful son and living the perfect American life. But when a camping accident leaves Maddie badly scarred, she begins attending writing therapy, where she gradually reveals her fears about Ian, her concerns for her safety, and the couple’s tangled and tumultuous past with Jo. From the electric streets of the Balkans to a quiet suburb in Kansas, sixteen years of love and fear, adventure and suspicion, culminate in the Day of the Killing, when a frantic 911 call summons the police to the scene of a shocking crime. Twisty and utterly original, Beautiful Bad shows that appearances are deceptive and even the most seemingly perfect couples have something to hide.

Spinner V is the latest addition to the award-winning Spinner series. It contains 12 beautifully woven tales with historic photographs and original illustrations. 
Drawing on oral history, old newspapers and family scrapbooks, "Judgment Day" brings back the days of New Bedford's colorful Mayor Edward C. Peirce, who was convicted of gambling related crimes. It is the story of a man who reached the pinnacle of success, only to be brought down by the opposing forces of his time. In "Between Heaven &amp; Hell," witness the devastation and resolve in the Flint neighborhood when Fall River's cherished Note Dame Church burned to the ground in 1982. 
Spinner has uncovered two extraordinary journals of local and international interest, each with it's own reflections on war and America. In "Unforgettable Days," Natalie Kaplan recounts her girlhood in Russia, her work as a young nurse in the Red Army, and her emigration to New Bedford. "The Fall River Nanny" is the diary of a young Englishwomen, Annie Ward, who came to America in 1914 to work in the house of a mill owner. Her bittersweet journal recalls the romance and gaiety of Fall River, but is laced with anguish as her homeland and her loved ones are drawn into World War I. 
Two area institutions remind us of the strength and character that can be developed as a result of childhood struggles. In "At St. Mary's Doorstep," Raymond Rivard tells about his teenage years as a resident of St. Mary's Home for Children in New Bedford. "Children of Sol-e-Mar" is a fond recollection of life at a South Dartmouth hospital for crippled children in the days before penicillin. 
In "Heritage Harvest," the culinary Worlds of the Indians and settlers mix, bringing us the johnnycake, the clambake and more. A special feature, "Milton Silvia: As I Saw It," showcases a treasury of photographs taken during Milt's long career with The Standard-Times. In "Trolley Days," pictures and personal accounts bring back city streetcars, while "The Progress of Bloomerism" tracks the coming of the new fashion in the 1850's. Finally, "Rum Running in Westport" tells what life was like in Westport during Prohibition. 
This is the world of Spinner: words and photographs, oral history and journals. It is a world we all have in common as human beings.
