Assessment for Learning

A Practical Approach for the Classroom

This book guides teachers as they develop and analyze meaningful assignments that can be used as formative assessments in the classroom. This system is easy and will result in relevant data to use for differentiation. The assessments are directly based on the work of the classroom rather than developed by an outside entity. They reflect the real work of the classroom and can be used to provide students, parents, and administrators with specific targeted feedback about the learning. In addition, teachers are guided in the design of differentiated assignments to help their students reach the grade level standards.
