I would recommend it to any math educator.  The depth of research integrated into practice is extensive and, as a result, it is the most practical book I have come across related to formative assessment and mathematics The self-regulation aspects, as well as the ownership and involvement emphasized in the book, went beyond the traditional cognitive strategies endorsed in most books."

The teacher voices, comments, and quotes lend credibility and are a big component of the book’s strengths as well as the visuals and graphics."
