Chock full of practical activities, Assessment Balance and Quality: An Action Guide for School Leaders, 3/e  is designed to enhance our understanding of sound assessment practice and illustrates how such practice is crucial to productive learning. The guideposts offered in the Action Guide represent seven precepts of sound assessment. Each precept is translated into actions that can be taken to promote assessment practices that support teaching and learning. “Support” is the key.
