Paul Black’s work on assessment for learning has impacted on the work of teachers, their classroom practice, and assessment around the world. After setting out the features of assessment for learning (drawing heavily on “The Black Box” publications), this book presents accounts of how the work has been drawn upon to inform practices internationally. Accessibly written, I believe it will be a “go to” source for anyone interested in assessment for learning and classroom practice.
