About this title

About the Author

Professor Bill Boyle holds the chair of Educational Assessment and is Director of the centre for formative assessment studies(CFAS) in the school of Education at the University of Manchester, UK. The CFAs is the oldest research centre(founded 1988) in the UK for supporting teachers, teacher trainers, schools and policy makers in using formative teaching, learning and assessment and is involved in supporting the development of formative assessment in UK and in many countries around the globe. Professor Boyle and his co-author, Marie Charles, publish their research work in academic and practitioner journals, present at international conferences and workshops, and design and support developments in formative teaching, learning and assessment. Currently, they are work­ing with colleagues in Russia, Armenia, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the USA on understanding, training and using formative strategies for more effec­tive teaching and learning. 

Marie Charles is a teacher, formative assessment researcher and consultant, and an author whose work demonstrates that she believes passionately in the learner (rather than measurement or grading) being at the centre of the education process – a belief that she carries into her classroom practice. 

Review

′This excellent book provides a unique blend of scholarly and research-based principles of effective formative assessment with practical suggestions for use in the classroom. By emphasizing the importance of a broad understanding of effective teaching and the importance of student self-regulation, involvement, and shared learning, and the use of case studies and examples of actual lessons, the authors show how the essence of formative assessment is in teachers′ responses to the substance of students′ understandings, with a focus on how teachers can use pedagogical strategies to move students forward toward important learning outcomes. I highly recommend the book for both researchers and practitioners. It is an engaging, in-depth, sophisticated treatment of formative assessment that also contains practical applications′

- James H. McMillan, Virginia Commonwealth University
′The principles in this book can be applied to any age and stage of development in education and it will be useful to current practising teachers, students following international and national teacher training courses; CPD or in-service work; Med and MA post-graduate assessment/teaching and learning modules′ (Martine Horvath 2014-02-06)
