By overemphasizing high-stakes evaluations as tools for reporting what students know and can do, we've created a culture of grading instead of a culture of feedback in our schools and classrooms. In this book, the authors urge educators to shift their classroom focus, prioritizing effective feedback over grades and making students partners in their own learning. Discover how to state learning intentions clearly and provide individualized feedback to give students all the information they need to succeed.
