Checking for Understanding: Formative Assessment Techniques for Your Classroom by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey is a professional education book focused on formative assessment in K-12 classrooms. Its central concern is the gap between a teacher assuming that students understand a lesson and the later evidence that many did not. Rather than treating assessment as an event that happens after instruction, the book presents it as a continuous process embedded in classroom talk, writing, tasks, questioning, and student responses. Fisher and Frey explain practical techniques teachers can use to identify misconceptions, gather evidence of learning, and adjust instruction before misunderstanding becomes fixed. The book is designed as a classroom guide rather than a theoretical treatise, with attention to strategies that can be used across grade levels and subject areas. Its purpose is to help teachers replace vague signals of comprehension with more reliable evidence that shows what students know, what they partly understand, and what they still need to learn.
