Read in tandem with the Wiggins text, it doesn't quite compare to the former. The science/math teachers in the class seem to prefer this text, but it was a little too dry for my taste. I got much more out of Wiggins, and don't think I would have missed anything had I not read this one.

Good for those learning to become a teacher. Read this for my grad class.

This is a great resource for all teachers in learning to recognize the proper use of assessment.
