The guiding principles of this handbook are that student evaluation should be an integral part of good teaching practice and be treated as an ongoing and comprehensive process that is pervaded by careful planning and systematic implementation. Evaluation is considered to be a critical element that influences teacher decision making and guides student learning. The main body of this volume is divided into four chapters presenting a plan of action emphasizing the explicit and systematic nature of decision making in an evaluation program. Chapter 1 describes how a teacher can take stock of his/her current student evaluation practice; Chapter 2 outlines a process for helping determine whether current practice should be modified; Chapter 3 extends student evaluation planning to include working with colleagues within a total school setting; and Chapter 4 explains the development and use of a variety of student assessment techniques. Time management suggestions and a bibliography of measurement texts offering specific techniques, texts addressing conceptual and research issues, journal articles and conference papers, and Saskatchewan Education publications complete the document.
