Decent read.

It's a solid book. Nothing groundbreaking, but it does help to crystallize several ongoing themes in education. Worth a look.

Excellent resource for different types of assessment that lead to balanced results, taking into consideration students' strengths and weaknesses. Use to find assessment strategies, refer to when making teacher-made tests and conducting student interviews and conferences, as well as lesson planning with metacognitive strategies and assessment in mind beforehand.

I used this book in one of the university courses I teach. If you are interested in learning more about assessment, this book has some great information. You will find lots of hands-on, practical tools to use in any classroom.
