Drawing from years of in-depth research, Robert J. Marzano provides you with guidelines and steps for designing a comprehensive assessment program that ensures assessments and grades lead to timely, accurate feedback on specific, standards-based learning goals.

Learn why point systems and score averaging are ineffective ways to grade students’ progress, and get clear advice on how to immediately create better assessments for a single classroom or an entire system.
