<u>About the Book </u></strong><br>Confront the emerging assessment crisis in American educationRick Stiggins details profound changes in the mission of our schools that requires a bold new vision of excellence in assessment in those schools. He combines decades of experience with international research to define a vision that uses assessment to supercharge student learning, not merely measure it—to support student growth, not merely hold schools accountable for it. Revolutionize Assessment:

• Begins with a unique analysis from the student’s point of view of the motivational psychology of being evaluated in the classroom

• Offers strategies for engaging students in self-assessment in ways that maximize their engagement and confidences as they learn

• Details the long-missing conditions of classroom assessment literacy that must be in place in local schools for Rick’s vision to become reality

• Reveals how gains in student achievement can narrow achievement gaps when teachers are given the tools needed to use “assessment for learning”.
