Several years ago, I stumbled across this quote from educational researcher John Hattie in a Bob Marzano book: "The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback. The simplest prescription for improving education must be 'dollops of feedback.'" (As quoted in Marzano, 2003, p. 37)It's a GREAT point, isn't it? And it resonates with everything that we know about growing learners. Feedback matters.But providing "dollops of feedback" is a HECK of a lot harder than it sounds when you are responsible for 125 students who are assigned to classes of 30+ and you have 60 minutes of planning on a good day. Under those conditions, timely, direct feedback on performance becomes nearly impossible.That's what makes Common Formative Assessment by Kim Bailey and Chris Jakicic such an important read. The authors take a difficult task and show teachers how to make it a manageable part of their everyday work.If you are a teacher, pick this up and work through it with your learning team. You'll have a better sense for just what responsible formative assessment is supposed to look like AND some practical strategies for incorporating it into your practice without killing yourself.If you are a principal, share this with your entire faculty. Formative assessment matters -- but teachers have to be convinced that it's doable. That's exactly what Bailey and Jakicic do in this short, approachable text.

A great beginning for PLCs

With more and more teachers moving to formative assessment, this book is a valuable asset. While one of the first chapters seemed a bit redundant because it dealt with explaining formative assessment, I can understand why it was included to help those who may not know much about it. The ideas presented in the book are clearly laid out with steps and even black line masters to use. The best part is that it focuses on educators collaborating to develop the assessment, asking questions together to get a deeper understanding.I would highly recommend this book to educators, especially PLCs.
