The text also offers practical and critical curriculum paradigms, and clearly shows the reciprocal relationship between assessment and instruction. The text is solidly grounded in cognitive, linguistic, and curriculum theory, but also does an excellent job of examining what goes on in the classroom minute-by- minute, day-by-day.
