It provides an extensive review of assessment theory, research, policy and practise.</em>--Louis Volante, Associate Professor (Assessment & Evaluation) (10/17/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>"This valuable resource goes beyond assessment for learning by shifting from the teacher to the student as the key assessor in self-monitoring personal goals and external standards."</em>--Julie Prescott, Assessment Coordinator (7/3/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Despite two decades of work by educators to turn assessment into an activity that helps students to learn better, there is still much work to be done. The focus needs to move away from routines carried by teachers, truly to engage students themselves. It is this fundamental shift that Lorna Earl emphasizes in this excellent second edition of her book.</em>--Mary James, Professor, Cambridge University (10/17/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>In </em>Assessment as Learning<em>, Dr. Earl shares her deep understanding of classroom assessment and her commitment to harnessing its power for student learning. She begins at the beginning, focusing on assessing what students believe is true and using assessment information to help students develop and extend learning from those initial beliefs. Readers should do likewise, asking themselves what they believe is true about assessment and then extending their learning with this book.</em>--Susan M. Brookhart, Consultant, Brookhart Enterprises LLC (10/17/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Lorna Earl has provided one of the most readable books about how to use assessment as learning for teachers and students. It just makes sense! While testing is all around us, Lorna Earl shows how it is efficient to use this information to inform our impact, where to go next, and to identify our successes in learning and teaching. She moves the debate away from assessment as good or bad to assessment as a powerful tool when interpreted by teachers to enhance their impact.</em>--John Hattie, Director, Melbourne Education Research Institute (10/18/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Lorna Earl is an international thought leader when it comes to linking quality assessment to teaching, learning and student success. We are both members of a worldwide community of researchers, teachers, and school leaders intent on advancing our understanding of how to use assessment day to day in the classroom to both promote and verify student achievement. As we collaborate, Lorna points us in the right direction.</em>--Rick Stiggins, Consultant (10/17/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>Lorna Earl′s conceptualization of </em>Assessment As Learning<em> makes a major contribution to the work of educators determined to help all learners achieve deep understanding and powerful levels of learning. Grounded in practice, informed by research, and marked by a genuine respect for teachers and the challenges they face, this is a book that all educators will find enormously helpful.</em>--Judy Halbert, Co-Founder & co-leader (10/23/2012 12:00:00 AM)<br>
