Product Description
This new series provides working art educators with accessible guides to significant issues in the field. Developments in art education are consolidated into a clear presentation of what a practicing teacher needs to know. Paramount to the series is the concept of informed practice, whereby important and often complex art education topics are put into the context of the working art teacher and real classroom environments. The latest developments in research and theory are consolidated into a clear presentation of what a practicing teacher needs to know about assessment. Performance assessment strategies are detailed and evaluated, including the portfolio, art journals, and a multitude of integrated performance options. Traditional methods, scoring and judging strategies, and formative and summative assessment styles are also explored in this comprehensive examination that provides the information you need to make informed decisions about assessment in your classroom.

Applicable to all arts August 1, 2007

Donna Kay has done an amazing service to arts educators with this book. The text is written for visual arts teachers, but its principles can be applied just as easily to the disciplines of music, dance or theatre. As most arts educators can attest, we often go to assessment workshops that just teach the classroom teachers to do what we do every day. We needed a book to teach us how to effectively assess how our students create and perform. Donna Kay does that with this book. She first defines assessment, then gives an outline of specific assessments that are appropriate for an art classroom. Each chapter begins with a real-world story that leads into the text. Chapter 2 contains the most practical, ready-to-be-used information; there are 58 innovative, authentic assessment tasks that can be used within the framework of an arts lesson. This is a fantastic resource for pre-service teachers and also for teachers who have been in the classroom for years. It would make a great book study for the arts teachers in a school district. Along these lines I would also recommend Marilyn Stewart's Thinking Through Aesthetics.
On a side note, if you ever have the chance to see Donna Kay Beattie present in person, you need to go. She is a phenomenal presenter who will absolutely blow your mind.
