This review is from: Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right--Using It Well (Paperback)
I picked up this book at the beginning of my third year of teaching. I found exactly what I needed to advance my instruction to the next level. I developed student-friendly learning targets for each math unit. I communicated the learning targets to students and families at the beginning of the unit. Students were strongly encouraged to use the learning targets to evaluate their own learning. One student eagerly asked, "Mrs W. can I check off each learning target as I learn it?" - JUST BRILLANT!
The book is well-written and packed with suggestions and ideas. Templates are included on the CD. This book is a must-have for you teaching library!

This review is from: Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right-Using It Well (Assessment Training Institute, Inc.) (Paperback)
This book is magnificent as far as assessment studies go. Each chapter breaks down the various components and methods of assessment into language that is understandable to the newcomer to education studies.
