"This book puts assessment firmly in its place. Professor Broadfoot provides penetrating insights from history, sociology and comparative studies to challenge many of the myths that have grown up around assessment. She exposes it as a technique of power that can lead to wasted effort, missed opportunities and personal unhappiness. More hopefully, she also explains how assessment can serve truly educational purposes. The book is a lucid contribution to the promotion of assessment literacy and should be read by all those concerned with education, including politicians and journalists." -- Mary James, Professor of Education, Institute of Education, Member of the Assessment Reform Group I found it to be a clear, concise and helpful introduction to the topic. I particularly liked the way it looked at different perspectives of a topic e.g. the advantages and disadvantages of performance indicators. For trainee teachers or other students this would be particularly helpful in encouraging critical analysis. The activity boxes, too, were clearly designed to stimulate further thinking and reflection. -- Gary Walker, Senior Lecturer, Childhood and Early Years, Leeds Metropolitan University 'I really like its lay out and written style - very user friendly.'
