Brain-Friendly Assessments: What They Are and How to Use Them

Brain-Friendly Assessments: What They Are and How to Use Them guides teachers as they work to determine what, whom, where, and how to assess. Bestselling author David A. Sousa empowers teachers with valuable research findings from educational neuroscience as he describes critical factors to consider when designing and selecting assessment techniques to accurately gauge how well students learn and retain information.
