This is a great book that truly opens one's eyes to the world of assessment. Stiggins does a great job of breaking different types of assessment down into his chapters. I would definitely recommend this book to any educator!

Formative Assessment

This is an excellent text for defining what we mean by assessment and for examining how different types of assessments fit different purposes. It is very uiseful for teacher professional development.

Useful in the Classroom

I ordered this book for a master's course I'm taking and found the information on reasoning patterns and assessment very useful in helping me see the difference between sound and unsound asssessment. Stiggins suggests numerous assessment ideas that provide a more positive environment for assessing and learning. This is a book I will keep in my classroom and use frequently.
