Reviews

With a multitude of engaging and realistic classroom examples, Greenstein uses contemporary research extensively to show how teachers can plan and implement effective assessment. Her emphasis on the integration of assessment with teaching throughout the text illustrates in practical language how teachers can use assessment to enhance student learning and motivation, and her engaging, non-technical writing style concisely captures all critical components of the assessment process. James H. McMillan, Professor, Foundations of Education, Virginia Commonwealth University Sticky Assessment will help educators understand assessment as a useful tool to not only measure data but actually improve student learning! Greenstein presents assessment as a process that any teacher could implement in their classroom, without fear of losing the fun of learning.
