"A powerful book, Brain-Friendly Assessments has informed my
instruction as well as assessment. I cannot overstate how
appreciative I am of the way the author distilled the essence of
assessment into student-centered, sensible best practices." --
Alana Margeson "2012 Maine Teacher of the Year"
"Brain-Friendly Assessments answers all of the 'who,' 'what,'
'where,' 'when,' and 'how' questions. The book's very detailed
explanations of assessments have the research and data to support
them." -- Brandi Leggett "2014 Regional Kansas Teacher of the
Year"
"Brain-Friendly Assessments really made me think about what I would
do differently if I were back in the classroom and what I should be
doing now as the superintendent to ensure we are doing the right
things related to assessments." -- C.J. Huff "2013 National
Superintendent of the Year finalist"
