Formative Assessment in Content Areas Series DVD

Formative Assessment in Content Areas Series DVD 9781416608202
Schools and districts that have already been introduced to the basics of why and how formative assessments improve learning and teaching need this new DVD set to show teachers the many ways they can use formative assessments in the subject areas and grade levels they teach. Classroom scenes throughout the three DVDs show real teachers using formative assessments to discover their students' prior knowledge of subject matter, check for understanding, choose the most effective instructional strategies, and gauge the progress of their students. Each DVD demonstrates the following key elements of formative assessment that every teacher needs to know: Establish a classroom culture that encourages interaction and use of various assessment tools Communicate learning goals and track individual student progress toward those goals Differentiate instructional methods to meet diverse student needs Vary assessment approaches to provide students with more ways to show their understanding Get feedback to determine how well students perform and instructional approaches work And individual programs show teachers how to apply these elements in the following grade levels and subjects: Elementary school mathematics and language arts Middle school science, mathematics, Spanish, and history High school humanities, mathematics, and design After teachers see these principles of formative assessment applied in grade levels and subject areas similar to their own, they're much more apt to use this continuous process to ensure learning is really taking place and every student's needs are met. Plus, an embedded professional development program on each DVD, with accompanying PowerPoint presentation and handouts, ensures teachers get engaged in discovering and applying formative assessments that make the most sense to their situations. (ASCD DVD, 2008) Three 25- to 30-minute DVDs, each with a complete professional development program.
