Does this book include information on formative assessment?  Our professional learning focus this year may be on using formative assessment to influence instruction---

His newest book is called Classroom Assessment for Student Learning, 
published by ETS (He works for them now).

He has other books on assessment as well, but this is the most current. I 
just spent 4 days at a conference sponsored by ETS, where he was a keynote. 
I had the opportunity to ask him why he joined an organization that I 
personally believe is in part responsible for the mess commonly referred to 
as NCLB. He believes he can affect change from within by engaging with 
political leaders since ETS has the ear of the government. I hope he is 
right. We need education advocates working for us.
