This collection of articles from Educational Leadership pulls
together some of the best pieces on formative assessment and
feedback that will help educators understand how to best use the
data they have at their fingertips. The articles provide insights
into the purpose of formative assessment (Guskey; Tomlinson); the
principles to follow for giving the most effective feedback
(Wiggins; Hattie; Brookhart; Dweck); and multiple strategies for
using effective formative assessment in daily lessons (Wiliam,
Duckor, Chappuis, Fisher and Frey, Dueck, and Grdina). The authors
tell fellow educators about how to use formative assessment to
shape the next phase of instruction and how to look for patterns in
students' assessments and assignments--the mistakes students
frequently make and the signals that tell what individuals need,
what groups of kids need, and what the whole class needs. And they
present excellent advice about how to make your feedback more apt
to be heard and acted upon by your students. Whether you are a new
or experienced teacher, a school leader, a teacher educator, or a
member of a professional learning community, this collection of
articles can help you reflect on ways to use assessment to more
powerfully boost learning.
