商品簡介
This how-to book on formative assessment offers practical strategies, tools, and examples for teachers of all subjects and grade levels. While many formative assessment experts focus on national, state, or district efforts, this book draws on the writings of experts but relies just as much on the experiences of schools and teachers who are implementing a formative assessment approach in their classrooms. After a discussion of the connection between formative assessment and standards-based education, the book offers advice on sharing learning goals with students, observing students' present learning, determining students' learning strengths and gaps, and various feedback techniques. There are also techniques for how students can demonstrate their growth, how to report students' growth over time, and celebrating students' learning successes. The book will be useful to teachers, principals, curriculum leaders, and pre-service educators. Author information is not given. There is no subject index.
