New Frontiers in Formative Assessment blazes the trail for educators interested in assessment as learning and formative assessment in the classroom. The authors draw research from a number of classroom environments to show why this process is successful.

This is for practitioners who want to tap into the power of formative assessment. It presents twelve examples of formative assessment playing out in classrooms and schools. Drawn from a variety of classrooms in terms of age level, subject area, and use of technology, the chapters highlight the importance of context in developing effective formative assessment practices. At the same time, the volume addresses the common elements of a successful formative assessment project.
