The New World of Assessment: Teaching in a Digital World is designed to provide current and future K-12 teachers with an introduction to the essential concepts and principles of student assessment and evaluation. The book examines trends in testing, namely, psychological, standardized, and achievement tests, and the rationale and assumptions underlying these assessments. It provides readers with helpful information regarding traditional paper-and-pencil methods of assessment, as well as newer methods, including online assessment. The text begins by defining assessment and discussing its various approaches. Later chapters examine selected-response tests, constructed-response tests, formative and summative assessments, the edTPA, and more. The text stresses the importance of using practical, hands-on assessment in the K-12 classroom setting and provides helpful tips and effective strategies for successfully implementing assessment in the teaching and learning process. The New World of Assessment is well-suited for undergraduate or graduate educational assessment courses focused on K-12 teaching. It can also be used by novice and seasoned teachers alike.Nicole Luongo earned her B.S. in elementary education from Bucknell University, her M.A.E. in administration and supervision from Seton Hall University, and her Ed.D. in instructional technology and distance education from Nova Southeastern University.

The Becoming is a brutal account of mental illness by a woman who doesn't believe in mental illness. As the author embarks on a PhD at the University of Oxford, a lifetime of addiction, eating disorders, and trauma culminates in an explosive hospital stay that sees her achieve liberation through psychosis. Her journey from terror to acceptance is grueling, and she makes meaning of it by weaving reflexive narrative with classic and nascent scholarship. Part phenomenological recounting, part social critique, the text disrupts biomedical approaches to altered states by exploring their emancipatory potential. It also illuminates how conventional mental health treatment pathologizes human suffering. In doing so, The Becoming contributes to anti-psychiatry and Mad studies projects, each asking, "What does it mean to be normal?" and "Should we be sane in an insane world?"
