Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

′Differentiated Assessment Strategies is a bible for assessment strategies that you will keep nearby for easy reference in planning and implementing classroom assessment. The use of this book will take away the mystery on how to guide and monitor students′ performances.′ - from the Foreword by Marti Richardson, NSDC Past President

Assessment is an essential component of differentiated teaching. Assessing students before, during, and after teaching allows you to choose the appropriate tools and strategies to improve student performance and help students take responsibility for their own learning.

Packed with tools, surveys, checklists, questionnaires, assignments, organizers, guidelines, and rubrics, Differentiated Assessment Strategies addresses learners of all types and levels, including mainstream, special needs, and gifted students. In addition to learning about the latest research, you′ll become skilled in new assessment techniques that provide immediate feedback. Chapman and King provide ready-to-use tools to:

- Evaluate and activate students′ prior knowledge

- Transform homework into rich learning opportunities

- Draw higher order thinking from ALL students

- Assess learning to offer feedback to students

- Assess learner preferences, as well as cognitive styles and multiple intelligences

- Determine student comprehension and requirements for reteaching

- Build students′ metacognitive power to self-assess their own learning.

In true Chapman & King style, the strategies are lively, energizing, easy to use, fun and classroom-friendly.
