"A thoughtful, idea-filled book for educators confronting thechallenge of creating and using alternative assessment procedures.Drawing on years of work with mathematics teachers, Kulm turns thefocus on what really works in the classroom. A must read forteachers looking for practical suggestions and potential models asthey develop new assessment systems."
-- Thomas A. Romberg, director, National Center for Research inMathematical Sciences Education, University ofWisconsin-Madison

Kulm offers hands-on guidelines for assessing student understandingof procedures, concepts, and problem-solving, including advice ondeveloping and interpreting assessment tasks, assessing individualand group mathematical activities, using scoring rubrics,developing student portfolios, and more.
