The Formative Assessment Action Plan: Practical Steps to More Successful Teaching and Learning (Professional Development)

Used as part of a graduate course and to inform professional practiceI was required to purchase this for a graduate course I was taking. While most of the books I have had to buy for courses have been used for the class and then never looked at again, this one is actually a useful, practical, and easy to read book that has helped me to be a better teacher. I feel that I have a deeper understanding of assessment, and have tried to internalize and adopt the ideas in the book. I would definitely recommend this to other teachers, and it is worth the time investment to read it, even for busy teachers!

I like that it has a lot of practical instructional practices and that it's a short read...to the point!

Provided a lot of easy ideas to help determine the learning needed to make each child successful

All a teacher hears about is formative assessments. Great guide.

This is a fantastically written and very thorough book that helped me become passionate about formative assessments! I actually just used the information in this book to conduct a professional development!
