Synopsis

Formative practices can motivate students, enhance their self-regulation, and help find a better balance between education and assessment.

They also explain how educators can use feedback more effectively and efficiently, and the essential role of instilling a shared sense of quality.

This book is for teachers, educators, leaders, and curriculum developers from primary to higher education who want to successfully integrate formative practices into their daily teaching methods.

With a passion for education, Kneyber dedicated himself to not only imparting mathematical knowledge to his students but also to influencing educational policy and practices on a broader scale. His expertise and commitment to improving education led to his appointment as a crown member of the Onderwijsraad (Education Council) in the Netherlands, a prestigious position he held for eight years.
Kneyber is also known for his contributions to the public discourse on education through articles, books, and participation in educational debates.
