'Assessment and Learning is a useful and inspiring book for everyone concerned with the field of assessment and provides a comprehensible overview of the contemporary developments in the field of educational assessment, particularly assessment for learning'- Studies In Educational Evaluation
`Assessment for learning has come to play a significant role in learning and teaching and the Assessment Reform Group has played a pivotal role in this change. In Assessment and Learning past and present members of the group explore the implications of this change for practice, policy and research, in a way that is insightful, accessible and challenging' - David Bartlett, President - The Association for Achievement and Improvement through Assessment (AAIA)
Very clear read - the key principles of AfL were effectively described and illustrated.
The articles are research-based. This is excellent. I will use the articles for my students' reaction and reflection papers.

I have a plan to use the book for my graduate students, too.

Thank you very much.
Very useful for PGCE students who are investigating assessment issues, as well as for MA and PhD students specifically researching this area
Good consolidation of idears and theory of practice.
Excellent coverage of a number of key contemporary debates in the field of assessment. Not specific to a particular context which is extremely useful for a more general study of the topic area which allows for discussion of a number of factors.
A range of strategies to support assessment has been explored throughout this book. Practical examples provided. Easy to read and understand.
This text is excellent for research and therefore will be used as a recommended piece of text.
Provides a comprehensive (or as comprehensive as any 300 page book can provide) overview of assessment and learning, by key recognised authors, who have all published extensively. Most of the chapters are fairly short, but signpost the reader to further reading.

Probably more suitable for PG students interested in assessment, or academic staff with an interest in assessment and AfL practices
Excellent book with good information for anyone wishing to learn more about assessment
