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.
