I am teaching undergraduate students of education in a university. My courses are Assessment and Evaluation and Classroom Teaching and Management. Both of these courses stress the importance of formative FEEDBACK and its positive effect in student learning and in teacher planning. This book has a variety of very clever, quick directions and templates to use with learners from grades 3-8 and suggests what subjects to apply them to. I believe many of the ideas can be adapted to high school, as well. I shared a couple of the ideas with my students and suggested they buy the book someday to help make themselves a most effective teacher. The price here at Amazon is excellent!!JUDY

Judy Dodge is a gifted educator/staff developer/author who has, once again, compiled an outstanding resource filled with highly appealing, user friendly formative assessments. Having left teaching to enter the administrative “venue” 10 years ago, I find myself longing for my own inclusive middle school language arts classes to “experiment” with implementation! However, in the absence of such, my adminstrative team has constructed staff development for our teachers – that focuses on Judy’s fine work.
