By distilling the vast body of research evidence into meaningful, actionable findings and strategies, this book is the jump-start all stakeholders need to build a better understanding of what works-and where to go from here.

Ultimately, Guskey and Brookhart identify four themes emerging from the research that can guide these efforts:
- Start with clear learning goals.
- Focus on the feedback function of grades.
- Limit the number of grade categories.
