Book excerpt: With this updated document, IRA and NCTE reaffirm their position that the primary purpose of assessment must be to improve teaching and learning for all students. Eleven core standards are presented and explained, and a helpful glossary makes this document suitable not only for educators but for parents, policymakers, school board members, and other stakeholders. Case studies of large-scale national tests and smaller scale classroom assessments (particularly in the context of RTI, or Response to Intervention) are used to highlight how assessments in use today do or do not meet the standards.

Book Synopsis Advancing Formative Assessment in Every Classroom by : Connie M. Moss
Download or read book Advancing Formative Assessment in Every Classroom written by Connie M. Moss. This book was released on 2019-05-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formative assessment is one of the best ways to increase student learning and enhance teacher quality. But effective formative assessment is not part of most classrooms, largely because teachers misunderstand what it is and don't have the necessary skills to implement it. In the updated 2nd edition of this practical guide for school leaders, authors Connie M. Moss and Susan M. Brookhart define formative assessment as an active, continual process in which teachers and students work together—every day, every minute—to gather evidence of learning, always keeping in mind three guiding questions: Where am I going? Where am I now? What strategy or strategies can help me get to where I need to go? Chapters focus on the six interrelated elements of formative assessment: (1) shared learning targets and criteria for success, (2) feedback that feeds learning forward, (3) student self-assessment and peer assessment, (4) student goal setting, (5) strategic teacher questioning, and (6) student engagement in asking effective questions. Using specific examples based on their extensive work with teachers, the authors provide - Strategic talking points and conversation starters to address common misconceptions about formative assessment; - Practical classroom strategies to share with teachers that cultivate students as self-regulated, assessment-capable learners; - Ways to model the elements of formative assessment in conversations with teachers about their professional learning; - "What if" scenarios and advice for how to deal with them; and - Questions for reflection to gauge understanding and progress. As Moss and Brookhart emphasize, the goal is not to "do" formative assessment, but to embrace a major cultural change that moves away from teacher-led instruction to a partnership of intentional inquiry between student and teacher, with better teaching and learning as the outcome.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Teachers' Formative Assessment Practices and Student Reading Growth by : Jason E. Miller
Download or read book The Relationship Between Teachers' Formative Assessment Practices and Student Reading Growth written by Jason E. Miller. This book was released on 2013. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative research study examines the relationship between teachers' understanding of the formative assessment process and their students' growth in reading skills. Using a correlational research design, the participants included 93 teachers, kindergarten through sixth grade, in a south-central Minnesota school district. The district serves more than 7,000 students in grades K-12. A Formative Assessment Survey (based on the work of Edman, Gilbreth, and Wynn, 2010) was administered to these teachers. The school district provided the percentage of students who met or exceeded their Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) reading growth target for each teacher's classroom. A Spearman's rho correlation coefficient of .196, with a critical table value of .06, was calculated. Although the correlation coefficient was positive, the results indicated a statistically insignificant relationship between the two sets of data collected. Recommendations for further research include a closer examination of teachers' knowledge of, and application of, the formative assessment process.
