About the Editor and Contributors
This book takes the powerful distinction between assessment of learning and assessment for learning and applies it to teacher preparation and practice. Drawing on eight original field-based studies, the book provides insights, examples, and new questions about what it means to prepare teachers who are “ready” to teach in today’s assessment-driven educational climate.

With this book, Patrick M. Jenlink has curated a volume that is a must-read for anyone concerned with assessment and wants to use it, not just as an evaluative tool that measures learning, but as an instructional one that promotes learning. Given so little time and so much content to cover, what should educators do with assessments and how should they best do it? Those willing and wanting to take up the call to repurpose assessment - as an instrument for learning - will find this synthesis of research a great place to start. As he has done throughout his career, Jenlink once again helps us navigate through difficult periods in teacher preparation, this time with the high-stakes, test-driven mania in which teachers now find themselves, with a book that could not be more principled and timely.

This book is an important read for teacher educators, Pk-12 school leaders, and policymakers interested in examining the critical role of assessment, its impact on teaching and learning, and its connection to access and equity. This collection can inform future models and practices, and underscores the need for deconstructing the complexities of the work of teachers.
