Educational assessment has undergone substantial change since the first publication in 1978 of Assessment in Special and Inclusive Education: improved assessment tools and strategies, new models and technologies, and revised federal laws—all of which improve assessment practices and student outcomes. Intended for a first course in assessment, the fourteenth edition offers straightforward coverage of assessment concepts, evaluations of standardized tests, and applications for decision-making. All chapters have been updated, five are entirely new, and some are revised substantially or eliminated. The fourteenth edition focuses clearly on assessment for promoting academic and social–emotional outcomes.
