I especially like the table which gives suggestions for assessment types. Keeley has written several fine books on this topic, but this is the most inclusive and useful.

Paige Keeley does an excellent job supporting the use of formative assessments with research based evidence. Then she gives 75 examples of types of assessments that can be used, how to use them, when to use them, how to adapt them.... WOW! For teachers who have little extra time to search for new ideas, this is a treasure trove of assessment methods and best of all - THEY WORK!!

The suggested activities are all easily implemented in the classroom and provide opportunities for improved student learning. Other teachers, as well as Science teachers, would also find this text very worthwhile as many of the activities could be easily adapted.

My science faculty have used this book since the first day I added it to my lending library. The feedback for implementation has been very good.
