Large-Scale Assessment Issues and Practices

Large-Scale Assessment Issues and Practices: An Introductory Handbook focuses on common issues in large-scale assessment; emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in assessment; provides practical information and advice based on research, best practices and experience; describes the Education Quality and Accountability Office’s (EQAO) approach to large-scale assessment; supports effective design, development and implementation of large-scale assessment programs; and is written in non-technical language. The handbook is meant to be a resource for practitioners who wish to establish or enhance large-scale assessment programs, as well as stakeholders of large-scale assessment. It is also intended as a supplementary text for students of introductory post-secondary courses on large-scale assessment.
