Sommario/riassunto

This book covers the reason why teachers should assess in an ongoing fashion. It also provides a clear structure for designing and analyzing meaningful formative assessments. In addition, it guides the teacher in the development of differentiated activities for every level of student based on the results of the assessment and includes the thought process that goes into that development.
