In Formative Assessment in the Disciplines, Margaret Heritage and
E. Caroline Wylie explore the interconnection of ambitious
teaching, formative assessment, and disciplinary knowledge. The
authors outline a framework to help teachers develop and extend
their proficiency in enacting discipline-based formative assessment
practices across the continuum of preservice and professional
learning. The book examines the interaction of formative assessment
and disciplinary knowledge in mathematics, science, English
language arts, and social studies. Through extended, real-life
classroom vignettes, the authors argue that formative assessment is
not a set of generic practices but rather is embedded in
disciplinary learning. The authors illustrate how teachers'
knowledge and skills in discipline-based formative assessment can
be developed across each phase of professional expertise, from
preservice programs through induction to in-service learning
opportunities for teachers and teacher leadership. This approach
supports the premise that teachers never stop learning and continue
to hone their expertise over many years. Formative Assessment in
the Disciplines is a valuable tool for those planning professional
learning for teachers at any stage including teacher educators,
professional learning providers, and teacher leaders.
