In this volume, author Laura Greenstein has gathered what your really need to know in order to make formative assessment a seamless part of your everyday practice. Emphasizing formative assessment application in secondary schools but applicable to teachers of all grade levels and all subject areas, this book provides: straightforward answers to teachers' most frequently asked questions; dozens of strategies for measuring student understanding and diagnosing learning needs before, during, and after instruction; illustrations of formative assessment across the content areas, from math to language arts to science to social studies to health and physical education; guidance on making data-informed instructional adjustments; sample templates for organizing assessment data to track both whole-class and individual progress toward identified goals; case studies to illustrate effective and ineffective formative assessment and deepen your understanding. If you're looking to take formative assessment from theory to practice -- and from practice to genuine learning improvement -- this is the place to begin. - Back cover.
