Standards-Based Reporting and Formative Assessment: On the Road to a Highly Reliable Organisation DVD

This useful video series clearly explains how to design and interpret several types of formative assessments, how to track student progress and how to assign meaningful marks, even if a school uses a traditional marking system. Dr Marzano brings each concept to life with detailed examples of teachers from different subject areas applying it in their classrooms. Dr Marzano focuses on 1) the inadequacy of the 100-point scale, 2) designing measurement topics, 3) computing final status on measurement topics, 4) traditional marking practices in a formatively based system, and 5) new forms of report cards for formative assessment. This package includes a DVD with the video and a CD with materials to support team or individual professional learning, including handouts, supporting resources and web links.
