"Systematic Classroom Assessment provides a theoretically grounded and unified perspective on assessment—the 4-stage Classroom Assessment Model—that integrates assessment with self-regulation, motivation, learning, and non-cognitive processes. The volume incorporates teacher and student activities that collectively are oriented toward promoting student learning. This is a valuable resource for preparing educators to use the latest methods and technologies to improve teaching and learning." — Dale H. Schunk, Professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Higher Education in the School of Education at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA"Using classroom assessments to offer students feedback on learning and to guide correction of learning difficulties is a highly nuanced process, dependent on the background of the students, the skills to be learned, the subject area, and the grade level. In this book, Bonner and Chen help teachers make sense of those nuances and guide them through the complexities to more effective practice. Every teacher will find ideas here they can use to help their students develop as successful, independent learners." — Thomas R. Guskey, Senior Research Scholar at the University of Louisville and Professor Emeritus at the University of Kentucky, USA"Bonner and Chen offer a contemporary approach for classroom assessment that engages and motivates learners. Their innovative model provides teachers and assessment specialists with a practical and accessible foundation for measuring student learning at all stages of the instructional process with a focus on improvement, connections to metacognition, and self-regulated learning strategies." —Lisa Abrams, Associate Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA
