“Team Marzano does it again! The New Art and Science of Classroom Assessment is up to date, research informed, classroom ready, and focuses appropriately on seeing assessment as providing feedback to teachers and students about their impact. Assessment is not about numbers or grades, but about helping make great diagnosis of current learning, understanding the progress toward success, and helping justify optimal next steps. This book is not your ordinary classroom assessment textbook, as it emphases reporting, skills of cognitive analysis, proficiency scales, and parallel assessments—the core ingredients for understanding our impact.”
“The New Art and Science of Classroom Assessment is filled with strategies and examples that bring the content to life. Marzano, Norford, and Ruyle provide a truly useful tool for classroom assessment design and evaluation.”
“The New Art and Science of Classroom Assessment challenges educators to recognize the impact that lesson-level assessment can have on teacher quality, administrative effectiveness, and student ownership of learning. Arguing for teachers to ‘test less and assess more,’ this comprehensive resource puts research, strategies, and specifically designed tools in the hands of educators willing to take up that challenge.”
