James Popham has helped hundreds of educators in all kinds of schools turn formative assessment theory into everyday practice. Now you can benefit from his approach to implementing formative assessment in all year levels and subjects. Instead of focusing on checklists and data-gathering techniques, Popham explains how to take on what really matters most in the formative assessment process, including: What kinds of assessment tools to use in your instruction; When and how often to collect evidence of student learning; Which items and how many to include in an assessment; and many more. Teacher comments bolster the author’s advice with clear illustrations of the kind of thinking and planning that ensures you teach more effectively.
