'I am really pleased to welcome this new book which focuses on theuse P scales to monitor and assess learning for pupils with'learning difficulties'. It is based on a decade of use, researchand development of the scales; it is essential reading for allthose involved in teaching and assessing those with specialeducational needs and disabilities.' --Professor Brahm Norwich, Graduate School ofEducation, University of Exeter 'This book will be a 'must buy' for all schools using Pscales. It fills a gap in providing a detailed discussion of theiruse, including personal reports from users, as well as thetechnical issues that must be addressed in the use both of thesescales and commercially available alternatives. Teachers will findthis book very readable, useful and, I hope,thought-provoking.' --Professor Geoff Lindsay, Director, Centre forEducational Development, Appraisal and Research, University ofWarwick
