"Myles Friedman has performed a great service for educators and policy makers by demystifying a large number of test instruments. The task of test selection has just become easier." - Arthur Stellar, Ph.D., President High / Scope Educational Research Foundation, Former School Superintendent, Past President of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development
"The handbook is a rich resource for helping busy teachers and administrators make better decisions. I sincerely hope that every school in the U.S. buys at least one copy and makes it available to their teachers." - Lawrence W. Lezotte, Ph.D., Educational Consultant and Commentator, Effective School Products, Former Chair Department of Educational Administration, Michigan State University
"Your book is needed... it will serve as a clarifying tool...encouraging educators that they too can take control of an area of instruction that has intimidated many a teacher and principal." - Arnold F. Fege, President, Public Advocacy for Kids, Former member of the National Testing Panel"Best of luck with this very useful book. Its contents will be a great help to us when we start our next test revision cycle." Donald Hammill, Ed.D. President Pro-Ed Educational Test Publications
"The six authors produced an excellent resource. It provides easy to understand information on tests relevant to effective educational decision making..." Reviewed May, 2004, in The School Administrator by Donna S. McCaw, Associate Professor of Educational Administration, Western Illinois University.
"The authors make a powerful case for their work, arguing that standard guides to testing are aimed at the psychometricians who create the tests than at the educators who must administrate them and make real-life decisions about a student's education based on the results. Recommended...." Reviewed in the Library Journal, August, 2003 by Scott Walker, Washington State University.
