Additional Book Details
The definitive guidebook to the complex terrain of 21st-century standards!
Standards, assessments, grading, and reporting provide the foundation for nearly every initiative in modern education reform. But what do these terms actually mean—and what changes in each area will bring about the improvements teachers and school leaders want to see? Here, Thomas R. Guskey and Lee Ann Jung collect the essential questions that stymie educators, and give each one a short, simple, jargon-free response.
Perfect for new teacher induction or professional learning on Common Core Standards initiatives, this book offers:
A vocabulary and frame of reference to share with other educatorsAn understanding of effective implementation in standards, assessments, grading, and reportingSpecific ideas for purposeful actionOrganized in a unique, accessible Q&A; format, this easy-to-use guide gives educators the common ground they need for successful improvement efforts.
"This text is a useful tool that educators can use to build common definitions about frequently used and misunderstood educational terms within their state, district, or school. Only when educators have the same understanding of ′formative assessment′ or ′grade reporting′ can they be implemented with fidelity."
—Julie Quinn, Accountability Specialist
Utah State Office of Education, Salt Lake City, UT
"Written in small sections, this book explains well how we assess, why we use different assessments, and asks guiding questions for application of assessments. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in educational assessments."
—Jeanne Collins, Superintendent
Burlington School District, VT
