A comprehensive, nontechnical, engaging, look at how assessment is
used to improve student learning and motivation. Drawing on recent
research and new directions in the field, this concise, engaging
book shows teachers how to use classroom assessment effectively for
improving student learning and motivation. Key strategies and
techniques are demonstrated through practical, realistic examples,
suggestions, and case studies. The new edition emphasizes formative
assessment and includes more in-depth coverage of self-assessment,
the impact of standards-based accountability testing, 21st century
knowledge, dispositions and skills, technology-enhanced items, and
assessment of culturally diverse students. Each chapter provides
aids to help readers learn and practice the skills of that chapter,
including new Teacher Corners features illustrating actual
teachers' thinking about classroom assessment, introductory case
studies, chapter concept maps, new figures, suggestions for action
research, self-instructional review exercises, and links to digital
