Autorenporträt

Charles Fuhrken. For the past twelve years, Charles has worked in assessment for three major test publishers and on testing programs for several states, as well as on norm-referenced achievement tests. After completing a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction at the University of Texas at Austin, Charles began writing What Every Elementary Teacher Needs to Know About Reading Tests. "From talking to teachers in various arenas," he says, "I've come to understand that teachers want and deserve to be informed about tests, but currently they feel either uninformed or misinformed."
