Ahead of the Curve: The Power of Assessment to Transform Teaching and Learning (Leading Edge) (Leading Edge (Solution Tree)) 20569th Edition

As a graduate student I needed this book ASAP for my Teacher Induction Program. I HIGHLY recommend Dodge Learning Resources because they sent my book to me within 5 days. I truly appreciate their promptness and if I need any additional books I will be sure to use this seller. Book came in excellent condition.. Thank you!!!

Educators who are beginning to build collective knowledge about common assessments, grading and reporting, formative assessments, and other assessment topics will find this book invaluable. It is one stop for understanding a comprehensive and balanced assessment system. The great assessment thinkers, from Stiggins and Guskey to Reeves and O'Connor contribute to this work, giving the field a common vision of assessment.

I read a review from 2016 that said that the Kindle version does not have page numbers. I am using my Kindle app on my PC and they are there, so either that was fixed or maybe you need to be on a computer to see them.I'm using this for a class that hasn't started yet, but at least I know that there are page numbers.

The book was awesome! I didn't think I would like it but it was anything but dry and boring! I have a new understanding of the importance of assessment. I have shared this book with others...it was very impactful!

It's fine.IF you are using this book for a class, DO NOT get the kindle version!!!! Kindle does not show the real page number, therefore, when the teacher asks you to read a certain page range, you will be up a creek without a paddle. Also, it will be impossible to do references as you won't know the page number to refer to!!!!I had ordered the Kindle version because I was last minute ordering my book and with Kindle, I had it instantly. Now, I have no idea which passages I am supposed to read!!!Someone found a complicated formula, but I'm not sure how accurate it is:# of Kindle pages divided by actual # of pages in the real book. That gives you "X". Then, write the page number your Kindle is telling you and divide that by "X". It should tell you which page you really are on in the real book.This is ridiculous!

The researchers in this work have certainly uncovered the secret to improving teaching and learning. If assessment were used in our classrooms in the way they describe, there would be no achievement gap because time would be the variable and learning the constant.

This is a must read for teachers to understand the depth of information on assessments. This book covers how to use formative, authentic, summative assessments and more to increase the power of learning.

This is a great read for any educator wanting to know more about the assessment process. It is relevant and applicable. It's an easy read, too. I would highly recommend for a staff book club and teacher leaders.
