Abstract: Assessment practices in schools often stem from outdated traditions that don't serve today's learners. Assessment Literacy for Educators is the culmination of Robert J. Marzano's decades of work, coauthored with Michael D. Evans and Julia A. Simms. Presenting 43 tenets for assessment literacy, the book equips teachers and leaders to replace outdated grading practices with accurate, student-centered approaches that truly advance learning for all. K-12 educators and preservice teachers can use this book to: (1) Understand the history of assessment in the United States, including failures and biases; (2) Learn the technical characteristics and limitations of influential large-scale exams; (3) Employ a variety of effective classroom assessments to measure student knowledge on specific learning progressions; (4) Aggregate formative assessment scores over time and compute summative scores to accurately report student status and growth; and (5) Individualize the assessment and learning process with competency-based practices.
