This book was a tremendous disappointment. Instead of providing suggestions for effective assessment strategies based on sound pedagogical theory, it contains bulleted lists, charts, tables, and other formulaic window dressing in the guise of differentiated assessment. Relying on cutesy slogans and excessive exclamation points, the list of “how-to’s” in this book might be suitable for elementary instruction or for beginning teachers with absolutely no knowledge of assessment. If show more you’re looking for ready-made reproducible checklists and doodles to adorn your teaching, look no further. If it’s rigorous and useful analysis of formative assessment strategies and comprehensible suggestions for their implementation in a secondary classroom that you're seeking, look elsewhere. show less
