Classroom Assessment presents classroom assessment principles in a non-technical, engaging way where you learn and practice skills as you read. It draws on new research and technologies to show how to effectively use classroom assessment to improve student learning and motivation. Practical examples, suggestions and case studies demonstrate real-world strategies and techniques.

The 8th Edition integrates equity and cultural relevance in every chapter, with more coverage of sociocognitive and sociocultural tenets of learning and motivation as well as responsive assessment practices. New vignettes, written by K through 12 National Board-Certified teachers, show first-hand how to apply effective assessment to real classroom situations.
