Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right - Using It Well (2nd Edition) (Assessment Training Institute, Inc.)

Quality books with information exactly fitting to our training

My university had writtten a syllabus based of the first edition of CASL: Doing it right doing it well, without actually realizing the major differences between the two. Accompanying CD files are completely different as is the structure, and this version does not include the informative(but dated video quality) DVD for supplemental materials. Even still, this version is more compact and has great applications. It was a shame that my MA cohort ran through this class in 8 weeks. This continues to be a helpful text and resource for formative assessment FOR learning...not OF learning.

I came across this book while completing some education modules for my middle school where I teach . With all of the new demands for progress monitoring, The book will give such great insight to formative and summative assessments. Chappuis gives a world of wonderful ideas that are tried and true. Very reader friendly for first year teachers as well as veteran teachers. If you haven't read it, you will be greatly enriched by all that this book enfolds.

I had to order this book for a class that I was taking online. It is a good book with lots of information and went well with the class I was taking. I would not hesitate in purchasing this book as it helps very much with the assessment aspects of teaching, especially for new teachers.

This text is an additional text to a summer required reading for my school. Its clarity of instruction and details supply helpful supplemental ideas to the text chosen by my school.

This is a great overview of assessing students and has many useful templates. I was able to apply many of the ideas to my units right away and it helped me get even more excited about curriculum planning.

I had to read this book for a graduate school course. As an experienced teacher, I have to say that there was nothing new for me to learn in this text. If you are just starting out and want some very simple advice on how to design and use assessment tools in your classroom then it is a relatively useful book, but I suspect there a many subject specific texts that would help you more. For example, if you teach a modern language I would recommend The Keys to Assessing Language Performance by Paul Sandrock. I hope those of you teaching in other content areas can find similarly helpful texts for your subject matter. Classroom Assessment for Student Learning is a bare-bones text and is probably only truly useful to an educator with limited or no prior teaching experience.

The best textbook I've EVER purchased! Perhaps it is perfectly timed in my life? I'm disappointed that basic teacher training doesn't include such vital texts as this one.
