    Formative assessment can sometimes get a bad rap.

Which, in turn, will allow us to reap greatest benefits from this small investment of our time. In this episode, we explore how to get the most out of our formative assessments while requiring the least amount of setup and planning.

In this episode, we meet with Dr. Shane Dublin, principal at Bolivar Middle School in Missouri, to discuss some unique ways his school is celebrating student successes. He also shares one Ninja Tool that he could not do without.
