"Lorna Earl is an international thought leader when it comes to linking quality assessment to teaching, learning and student success."
―Rick Stiggins, Author and Consultant
"Earl 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."
―Susan M. Brookhart, Consultant
