Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1989 Elizabeth Carlson, a Minneapolis housewife, went to a psychotherapist for help with depression. Before long the therapist suggested to her that perhaps her problem was actually multiple personality disorder (MPD), a condition that according to the 'experts' was connected to childhood abuse. With coaching from the therapist-and under heavy medication-Carlson soon came up with more than twenty-five personalities, including Wild Child, Sister Mary Margaret, and Little Miss Fluff.

They raped and killed. They aborted babies and ate the afterbirth. Or did they.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is assessment and how does testing differ from it Why are performance tests, by themselves, not an adequate system of student assessment How might we better 'test our tests' beyond current technical standards And why won't increased national testing offer the accountability of schools we so sorely need In 'Assessing Student Performance,' Grant P. Wiggins explores these questions and clarifies the limits of testing in an assessment system. He analyzes problematic practices in test design and formats that prevent students from explaining their answers. By showing us that assessment is more than testing and intellectual performance is more than right answers, Wiggins leads us to new systems of assessment that more closely examine students' habits of mind and provide teachers and policy makers with more useful and credible feedback.
