Book excerpt: Teacher Toolkit Guides transform the theory of education into practical ideas for your classroom. From Ross Morrison McGill, bestselling author of Mark. Plan.

This book explores formative assessment, focusing on feed-up (comparing with the goal), feedback (responding to student progress) and feed-forward (clarifying the instruction).
