Educative Assessment gets ASSESSED

Grant Wiggins has written an excellent book that delves into, not only the ways in which we can change current assessment practices, but he also explores ways in which we can change policies that drive assessment practices. Wiggins explores various assessment techniques that are found outside the realm of traditional assessment. This book is an amazing eye-opener and it is written in a way that is smart and sometimes humorous. If you are looking for a book about education assessment that causes sporatic narcolepsy you are in the wrong place. Buy it. Read it. You won't be disappointed.
