"This unique book on assessment has it all! The author has done a phenomenal job of laying a research-based foundation; defining thinking skills, actions, and skills for living in the world; showing how to incorporate common core standards and technology into the mix; and providing suggestions on how to asses it all. An added bonus is the inclusion of numerous rubrics and checklists, a lesson plan format, and a completed sample lesson plan.

This is an excellent resource for my students needing to have criteria for grading assignments that are non-traditional.
