This book provides an answer in a practical, proven, and unique Assessment Planning Framework that moves away from solely multiple-choice tests toward a wide range of approaches to classroom assessment activities, including performance-based assessments. This user-friendly guide will help pre- and inservice teachers to match assessments to purpose, goals, and content; select appropriate tasks; communicate productive feedback to students and parents; and use assessment results to inform instruction. School leaders will find it a practical guide for improving schoolwide assessment practices, as well as supporting teachers and orienting new staff. \u003cem\u003eAssessing Student Learning by Design\u003c\/em\u003e encourages educators to use classroom assessment as a way to inform teaching and learning, rather than simply to assign grades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Builds on the classic book Understanding by Design, written by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Offers a practical, nontechnical presentation appropriate for teacher preparation and busy practitioners (K-16).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Explores different purposes for, and methods of, classroom assessment and grading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Addresses assessment of academic standards as well as transdisciplinary outcomes, such as 21st-century skills.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Describes the principles and practices underlying standards-based grading.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJay McTighe \u003c\/strong\u003eis an educational consultant, bestselling author, and a regular speaker at national and international conferences and workshops. \u003cstrong\u003e Steve Ferrara\u003c\/strong\u003e, senior advisor at Cognia, Inc., was a high school special education teacher, taught at the preschool and graduate school levels, and is a former Maryland state director of student assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.7 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42161489969287,"sku":"9780807765401","price":49.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/38a0a558274ec93511bfb390702b6f85.webp?v=1733281590","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/assessing-student-learning-by-design-principles-and-practices-for-teachers-and-school-leaders-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
