This book outlines the key problems associated with the intersections of assessment, learning and teaching, and presents guiding principles to effective assessment that schools can follow in order to optimise student outcomes.

Dennis Alonzo uses mixed methods in his research on the intersections of curriculum, assessment, equity, evaluation of educational programs and teacher education and development. He works with educational systems and schools to lead their assessment reforms focused on articulating policies, developing assessment resources, implementing professional development and changing teachers' beliefs and practices.
