Assessment For Learning: Putting it into Practice

Description:

"This is a surprising and welcome book... a heartening read that shows the power of assessment for learning and the potential for academics and teachers jointly to put into practice ideas that can improve classroom learning and teaching."
TES

The starting point of this book was the realisation that research studies worldwide provide hard evidence that development of formative assessment raises students' test scores. The significant improvement in the achievements of the students in this project confirms this research, while providing teachers, teacher trainers, school heads and others leaders with ideas and advice for improving formative assessment in the classroom.

Assessment for Learning is based on a two-year project involving thirty-six teachers in schools in Medway and Oxfordshire. After a brief review of the research background and of the project itself, successive chapters describe the specific practices which teachers found fruitful and the underlying ideas about learning that these developments illustrate. Later chapters discuss the problems that teachers encountered when implementing the new practices in their classroom and give guidance for school management and LEAs about promoting and supporting the changes.

This book offers valuable insights into assessment for learning as teachers describe in their own words how they turned the ideas into practical action in their schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful book

j. · 11 February 2010

Bought this book to help with a Uni assignment. Very well laid out. Covers and expands on the information in the "Black Box" series of books. Good value for money compared to the price of the "Black Box" books.Could not have written my essay without it - hence the five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent

Excellent condition, and a book I would recommend to any teacher.

4.0 out of 5 stars good book

J. · 2 January 2014

very subject specific which is great for research on my foundation degree but you would need other books to research assessment in general

5.0 out of 5 stars Every teacher should read this book

D. · 11 June 2008

I am a Clinical Teacher in a hospital. Reading this book about secondary education transformed my whole approach to teaching and learning. Gone are all those boring PowerPoints, replaced with a couple of smart questions, some protected stress free thinking time, and then off into lively discussions and debates. Pages 32 to 41 on questioning are worth the price of the whole book. I could go on and on, but just buy the book and persevere!

Worth buying it puts William and Black's theory into a genuinely practical context for managers and classroom teachers. Teachers need an easy way to get to grips with the theory of Assessment for Learning - this is it.

Der schwierige Weg der formativen Evaluation in die Unterrichtspraxis

B. · 31 March 2016

Paul Black & Dylan Wiliam sind die beiden Wissenschaftler, deren Metaevaluation der Forschungen zur "formativen Evaluation" in der Wissenschaft begeistert aufgenommen worden ist. In der Zwischenzeit ist klar, dass die Verbreitung dieser hochwirksamem Vorgehensweise zur Sicherung der Lernfortschritte aller Schülerinnen und Schüler in die Praxis hochselektiver Schulsysteme (Deutschland, USA, auch GB) nicht einfach ist. Die beiden Autoren haben sich mit einigen Mitstreiterinnen schon Anfang dieses Jahrtausends auf den Weg gemacht, die Probleme der Implementation zu erkunden und Wege zu finden, sie zu überwinden. Das wird in dem Büchlein sehr praxisbezogen und mit viel Empathie für die Lehrpersonen, die ja in anderen Welten sozialisiert worden sind, dargestellt. Es wird nicht über die Lehrpersonen hergezogen, sondern sie werden in ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit akzeptiert und es wird an vielen Einzelpersonen gezeigt, wie sie den Weg zum Einbau der formativen Evaluation in ihren Unterricht gefunden haben.

Excellent!

I used this book to lead a teacher action research group in my school district. It was a wonderful balance of the principles of assessment for learning coupled with classroom vignettes demonstrating AfL in action. The teachers I worked with were inspired to develop excellent applications for their own classrooms that had a major impact on student learning.
