What exactly is an ""assignment,"" and why does it matter? How can
educators ensure that their teaching meets the rigorous demands of
the Common Core State Standards, so that all students are well
prepared for college or careers? Drawing from her extensive
experience as a teacher coach, author Eleanor Dougherty answers
these questions and many more, with two aims in mind: (1) to guide
teachers and administrators in crafting high-quality assignments,
and (2) to help educators understand the powerful impact that
assignments can have on teaching and learning. The book explains
the critical differences among ""assignments,"" ""activities,"" and
""assessments"" and thoroughly describes the key elements of an
assignment: prompts, rubrics, products, and instructional plans.
Readers will learn how to: Follow a seven-step process for crafting
effective assignments. Link assignments to units and courses.
Devise ""Anchor"" assignments for collaboration and consistency
across grades. Tap into instructional ""touchstones"" that can
enrich any assignment. Create classroom and school environments
that support assignment-making. Use assignments as a source of data
about teaching and learning. Equipped with the knowledge and
expertise gained from Assignments Matter, readers will be able to
create meaningful learning experiences for their students and come
to appreciate the author's belief that ""assignments may well be
the missing link in school reform efforts to improve student
achievement.
