Inside the Black Box: EnglishThis revised Australian edition of English inside the Black Box offers an opportunity to reconsider established teaching strategies such as classroom dialogue and peer- and self-assessment in the light of the research findings on formative assessment, and to use them more rigorously and consistently as a means of helping students to progress. The booklet examines the principles of learning that underpin formative assessment and goes on to consider how these might be applied in the classroom, identifying the aspects of formative assessment that research has shown to be important in raising student achievement in the English classroom.

Paul Joseph Black
Paul Joseph Black took his first degree in physics, and subsequently obtained his PhD in crystallography at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge in 1954. Between 1956 and 1976 he was a faculty member in the Department of Physics in the University of Birmingham (England), but his interests gradually moved from research in physics to research and development in science education. Paul left Birmingham in 1976 to become professor of science education and director of the Centre for Science and Mathematics Education, at Chelsea College in London, and when Chelsea College merged with King's in 1985 he became the head of the King's Centre for Educational Studies, King's College London (KQC). Paul Black retired in 1995, but is still active in research and development work.

Literacy Theory as Practice: Connecting Theory and Instruction in K-12 Classrooms
This comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the most influential theories and models of reading and literacy, ranging from behaviourism and early information-processing theories to social constructionist and critical theories. Focusing on how these theories connect with different curricular approaches to literacy instruction (preschool to Year 12), the author shows how they both shape and are shaped by everyday literacy practices in classrooms. Readers are invited to explore detailed vignettes that offer a practice-based view of theories as they are brought to life in the classroom. This book devotes substantial attention to linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms and 21st-century technologies.

Grading From the Inside Out: Bringing Accuracy to Student Assessment Through a Standards-Based Mindset
In Grading From the Inside Out, Tom Schimmer establishes that the time for grading reform is now. Traditional grading procedures no longer work due to vast changes in pedagogy and assessment. While F-12 teachers and administrators may feel hesitant about moving away from past practices or making profound changes in grading, and while it may be challenging, a change in grading to a standards-based mindset is essential for effective instruction and assessment. To help readers develop standards-based mindsets about grading, Schimmer proposes a grading paradigm based on a new approach to reporting student achievement.

Starting a Movement: Building Culture From the Inside Out in Professional Learning Communities
Starting a movement helps to sustain and support the energy and purpose of schools as they transform into professional learning communities (PLCs). The authentic alignment model helps bridge the gulf between principles and practice to cultivate an environment where a PLC soars rather than stalls. Educators will learn to express, clarify and align their beliefs so that they are meaningful to teachers, staff and other stakeholders; create a maximum buy-in among all members of the school community; use the authors' authentic alignment model to help keep their actions aligned to their schools' mission and vision; and reinforce the researched, results-proven PLC within their school culture.
