'Effective Assessment in Schools is one of the most compelling and comprehensive collections on assessment available. With must-read articles by leading scholars, it pushes our thinking and practice forward, strengthening assessment in today’s schools.'Christopher DeLuca, Professor, Faculty of Education, Queen’s University, Canada'Effective assessment is fundamental to student learning. This edited volume offers a comprehensive treatment of different aspects of assessment in Singaporean education and beyond. A stimulating read for researchers, teachers and graduate students.'David Carless, Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.'Several decades ago the first edition of Rowntree's book, titled ‘Assessing students: How shall we know them?’' was published in 1977, with many reprints to follow. It provided an essential foundation for me as I began teacher preparation and remained a valuable text in changing times. I expect this exciting new volume, grounded in 'Effective Assessment in Schools; Beyond Basics and Best Practices' will be also very highly valued by beginning teachers and those advancing their teaching journey. There is much to learn through the chapters as they come together in an impressive volume. It is undoubtedly a book for today's classrooms in the digital era. I am confident that the volume will be well received by beginning teachers and those continuing their learning about the centrality of assessment to learner growth. I expect it will simulate not only individual learning but will also trigger new insights into the nature and function of assessment, how it is enacted, and becomes situated in policy, and practice.'Claire Wyatt-Smith, Professor Emeritus Australian Catholic University, Brisbane, Australia.
