This book provides students, teachers, and researchers with a deeper examination of educational assessment fundamentals and examines assessment beyond (best) practices. The authors go beyond simply updating what is best practice assessment by understanding “best practices” in a way that will hold true for the future, especially in the wake of the drastic disruptions in these past few years.
Covering key topics of inclusive assessment, psychosocial impacts and wellbeing of students, and assessment in the age of technological proliferation and artificial intelligence, this book is divided into four sections: (1) “Assessment fit for the future in schools, for society”, (2) "Assessment literacy and leadership”, (3) “Theories and technicalities of assessment”, and (4) “Assessment for all learners in schools and society”. By the end of the book, readers will have nuanced understandings of the complexities of assessment issues that can enable a re-examination of what is fundamental to assessment and learning in schools, and how that prepares our learners for uncertain futures in society.
This book is a must-read for teachers, school leaders, policy makers, and researchers looking to reflect critically on their assessment practices and consider new ways of formulating assessment that is fit for all learners in schools, and beyond.
"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".

"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".
