The new edition of The Really Practical Guide to Primary Assessment provides students and teachers with a concise and authoritative guide to effective assessment practice. In the first part of the book the authors guide the reader through the current requirements for assessment, how they are applied in practice and the key terminology involved.

Then they lay the foundations for successful assessment by looking at the common obstacles faced by teachers and how these can be overcome. The second half of the book takes the reader through the process of planning, undertaking and recording assessment together with how to communicate results to pupils and parents. Assessment is put in the context of both classroom and school assessment planning, and the book concludes with a range of activities to enhance assessment skills.
