Assessment for Impact
Classroom Assessment is up-to-date, research informed, classroom ready, and focuses appropriately on seeing assessment as providing feedback to teachers and students about their impact. Assessment is not about numbers or grades, but about helping make a great diagnosis of current learning, understanding the progress toward success, and helping justify optimal next steps.
Enhancing Education through Effective Skills

Assessment Revolution
Classroom Assessment challenges educators to recognize the impact that lesson-level assessment can have on teacher quality, administrative effectiveness, and student ownership of learning.
