Modern Classroom Assessment offers an applied, student-centered guide to the major research-based approaches to assessment in today's modern classroom. Rather than simply list basic assessment formats with a few examples, as many textbooks do, award-winning professor and scholar Bruce Frey's book fully explores all five key approaches for teacher-designed assessment—Traditional Paper-and-Pencil, Performance-Based Assessment, Formative Assessment, Universal Test Design, and Authentic Assessment —while making abstract concepts and guidelines clear with hundreds of real-world illustrations and examples of what actual teachers do. Offering a variety of engaging learning tools and realistic stories from the classroom, this text will give any reader a strong foundation for designing modern assessments in their own classrooms.

Test Accommodations
Looking Ahead in this Chapter
Though the philosophy of universal design supports a goal of the same test form for all, there are times where the more valid approach, the fairer approach, is to allow for accommodations, small changes in how a test is administered. This chapter explores the legal, ethical, and practical issues of giving some students a changed or completely different version of a test. Many examples of common real-world accommodations are presented.
