This contemporary, engaging and accessible guide to dynamic assessment and intervention, provides the reader with a wealth of knowledge and practical resources. Excellent for those in the business of supporting 21st century learners.
I recommend Fraser Lauchlan and Clare Daly's Applying Dynamic Assessment in Schools. The writers brilliantly explain dynamic assessment theory and practice. As a Nigerian educational psychologist, I learned how to improve my assessment and student support. The book's real-world examples, case studies, and graphical portrayal are essential for policymakers and educational psychologists implementing dynamic assessments in their schools or districts. Any educator should read it.
This book really brings dynamic assessment alive. It clearly illustrates how to bridge the approach into everyday practice. It is filled with useful resources and practical activities.
This is a landmark publication. The authors' indispensable contribution presents accessible theory, practice, and resources to expand dynamic assessment practice beyond individual work to embedding it in a whole school approach.
Visionary, inspirational and invaluable. This warm and engaging guide to the effective application of DA, with creative resources developed by the authors, is a must- read for education and health practitioners.
