Synopsis

Research shows that when teachers effectively use formative and summative assessment practices, students who typically perform at the lower level of achievement show the greatest gains. Engaged students take ownership of their learning and become the center of their own success.

This professional development resource helps teachers and teams:

• Understand why assessment is a key component of instruction and cannot be separated from the teaching and learning process.
• Recognize the various methods of classroom assessment and appropriate uses for each during the information gathering process.
• Realize the importance of engaging students in the assessment process.
• Reflect on current practice and discover ways to improve classroom assessment quality.
