Synopsis:

A practical guide for creating standards-based objectives and assessments aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy!

This user-friendly resource gives teachers clear, step-by-step guidelines for writing measurable objectives and developing appropriate formative and summative assessments to guide instruction in the elementary classroom. Providing detailed examples for all levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy, the authors cover unit and daily instructional objectives based on state and national content standards as well as all the major forms of assessment. Teachers discover how to:

• Deconstruct the standards and write concrete objectives
• Create true-false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, and multiple choice exercises
• Write short-answer questions and essay items
• Use performance-based assessments and portfolios

Review: “This book is a wonderful tool and reference for any teacher. In my work of providing professional development to teachers of elementary science, one of the hardest areas for the teachers to grasp is assessment. Especially helpful for these teachers are the chapters on writing short-answer and essay items, performance-based assessment, and portfolios.” (Cindy Pulkowski, Program Manager 2008-12-11)
