In Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work, Robert J. Marzano provides an in-depth exploration of what he calls ā€œone of the most powerful weapons in a teacherā€™s arsenal.ā€ An effective standards-based, formative assessment program can help to dramatically enhance student achievement throughout the Kā€“12 system, Marzano says.

Drawing from his own and othersā€™ extensive research, the author provides comprehensive answers to questions such as these:

* What are the characteristics of an effective assessment program?
* How can educators use national and state standards documents as a basis for creating a comprehensive, topic-based assessment system?
* What types of assessment items and tasks are best suited to measuring student progress in mastering information, mental procedures, and psychomotor procedures?
* Why does the traditional point system used for scoring often lead to incorrect conclusions about a studentā€™s actual knowledge?
* What types of scoring and final grading systems provide the most accurate portrayal of a studentā€™s progress along a continuum of learning?

In addition to providing teachers with all the tools they need to create a better assessment system, Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work makes a compelling case for the potential of such a system to transform the culture of schools and districts, and to propel Kā€“12 education to new levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
