Dr. Marzano's book Classroom Assessment and Grading that Work (ASCD, 2006) contains a chapter describing The Pinnacle Plus system developed by Excelsior. Where can I get more information?

In Classroom Assessment and Grading that Work (ASCD, 2006), Dr. Marzano describes three characteristics of a software system that would be amenable to the use of formative assessments as described in the book. The Pinnacle Plus system designed by Excelsior Software exemplifies these characteristics. This recommendation supersedes any made in Transforming Classroom Grading (ASCD, 2000). Since 2001, Dr. Marzano has worked with Excelsior Software on developing their grade book software. More Information Click Here »

What happens if I click on "open" instead of "save" after clicking on the PowerPoint links?

Choosing the "open" file option will cause your browser software to attempt to open the presentation directly inside a browser window. This may not be a problem for the smaller presentation files, however for the "What Works in Schools" file, it may appear like the browser is "hanging" or doing nothing while the file is being downloaded for temporary viewing. For this reason, we recommend saving all presentation files to your local computer.

[top]

When I click on the PowerPoint links my browser software tries to open the file automatically, what should I do?

If this happens you can stop the page from loading and come back to this page. Using the right mouse button (Windows only) select "save target as" to download the file to your computer.
