About this eTextbook
A comprehensive resource for assessment practitioners, this book provides step-by-step guidance for developing, administering, scoring, and validating a range of performance tasks, including literacy and other types of proficiency assessments.

Clearly written and well organized, the book includes many practical examples and accessible explanations of concepts and statistical procedures.
It encompasses the breadth of applications of performance assessment today, from educational testing and the credentialing of professionals to research and program evaluation.
