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.
Specific, real-world examples that can be easily replicatedStructures for analyzing student work and differentiation instructionProcess will result in meaningful assessment pieces to monitor student learningPerfect for a school or grade-level teamGuided reflection and application in each chapter
