“An excellent and comprehensive holistic assessment book for young children that assumes inclusion...has everything you need to know and understand in order to meaningfully assess young children. Refreshingly, it simultaneously names the systems of oppression that can create bias and focuses on recommended practices used to truly learn about our youngest learners."
Jane Squires, Ph.D., Emerita Professor of Early Intervention, Center on Human Development, University of Oregon - October 2, 2022
“Accurate, collaborative, and nonbiased assessment of young children is a complex task that requires up-to-date and well-informed practitioners. I recommend this book for university students, special educators, preschool teachers, assessors, administrators, and others involved with teaching and assessing young children in inclusive settings. This book will be instrumental in improving services for young children and families in a variety of settings.”

In addition to explaining the advantages of authentic assessment over conventional methods, this book provides vignettes from experienced educators, checklists, and other tools to assist teachers in practicing authentic assessment.”
