Synopsis
Classroom Assessment: What’s Working In High Schools. In this two-book set, Anne Davies, renowned leader in the field of classroom assessment, and researcher/writer, Kathy Busick, have gathered the wisdom and expertise of twenty-two educators from Canada, the United States and Europe. The authors
are high school teachers from a variety of disciplines, and professionals in supporting roles. They offer a rich collection of practical classroom assessment ideas and solutions, as well as Blackline Masters. These books will benefit teachers, teacher-leaders, principals, and district administrators in their daily work, giving them the understanding and confidence to carry out the quality classroom assessment that will create and support successful lifelong learners.
Book One themes, "Beginning with Students" and "Learning Along with Students", introduce the dynamic process of assessment for learning by focusing on engaging students in planning for the learning destination,
co-constructing criteria and using feedback to strengthen their work.
Book Two themes, "Involving Students in Providing Proof of Learning" and "Reconsidering Marking, Grading and Reporting", continue the process by highlighting strategies for collecting and presenting evidence, as well as using criteria-based proof of learning to report student achievement according to required regulations. A summary of key research about classroom assessment is also featured.
