Carol Ann Tomlinson and Tonya R. Moon take an in-depth look at
assessment and show how differentiation can improve the process in
all grade levels and subject areas. After discussing
differentiation in general, the authors focus on how
differentiation applies to various forms of
assessment-pre-assessment, formative assessment, and summative
assessment-and to grading and report cards. Readers learn how
differentiation can: Capture student interest and increase
motivation. Clarify teachers' understanding about what is most
important to teach. Enhance students' and teachers' belief in
student learning capacity. Help teachers understand their students'
individual similarities and differences so they can reach more
students, more effectively. Throughout, Tomlinson and Moon
emphasize the importance of maintaining a consistent focus on the
essential knowledge, understandings, and skills that all students
must acquire, no matter what their starting point. Detailed
scenarios illustrate how assessment differentiation can occur in
three realms (student readiness, interest, and learning style or
preference) and how it can improve assessment validity and
reliability and decrease errors and teacher bias. Grounded in
research and the authors' teaching experience, Assessment and
Student Success in a Differentiated Classroom outlines a
common-sense approach that is both thoughtful and practical, and
that empowers teachers and students to discover, strive for, and
achieve their true potential.
Using Differentiated Classroom Assessment to Enhance Student
Learning introduces pre- and in-service teachers to the
foundations, data use, and best practices of the DCA framework. As
differentiated instruction practices increasingly enable K-12
educators to individualize learning in their classrooms, it is
important that this framework be extended to assessment as well.
This concise yet comprehensive book explains the science and
rationale behind DCA as well as principles and strategies for both
formative and summative assessments. Replete with vignettes, sample
outputs, and recommendations, this is a lively and much-needed
guide to understanding, enacting, and analyzing grouped and
individualized assessments.
