In Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work , Robert J. Marzano provides an in-depth exploration of what he calls "one of the most powerful weapons in a teacher's arsenal." An effective standards-based, formative assessment program can help to dramatically enhance student achievement throughout the K-12 system, Marzano says. Drawing from his own and others' extensive research, the author provides comprehensive answers to questions such as * What are the characteristics of an effective assessment program?* How can educators use national and state standards documents as a basis for creating a comprehensive, topic-based assessment system?* What types of assessment items and tasks are best suited to measuring student progress in mastering information, mental procedures, and psychomotor procedures?* Why does the traditional point system used for scoring often lead to incorrect conclusions about a student's actual knowledge?* What types of scoring and final grading systems provide the most accurate portrayal of a student's progress along a continuum of learning?In addition to providing teachers with all the tools they need to create a better assessment system, Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work makes a compelling case for the potential of such a system to transform the culture of schools and districts, and to propel K-12 education to new levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
Though classroom instructional strategies should clearly be based on sound science and research, knowing when to use them and with whom is more of an art. In The Art and Science of A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Instruction , author Robert J. Marzano presents a model for ensuring quality teaching that balances the necessity of research-based data with the equally vital need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of individual students.He articulates his framework in the form of 10 questions that represent a logical planning sequence for successful instructional design. For classroom lessons to be truly effective, educators must examine every component of the teaching process with equal resolve. Filled with charts, rubrics, and organizers, this methodical, user-friendly guide will help teachers examine and develop their knowledge and skills, so they can achieve that dynamic fusion of art and science that results in exceptional teaching and outstanding student achievement.
In this essential book, best-selling author and researcher Robert Marzano and
teacher-effectiveness expert Michael Toth lay out a framework for the
'generation' of teacher evaluation: a model focused primarily on helping
educators develop and improve their practice.
The book addresses the urgent need for reform in the U.S. education system amidst rapid global changes. It emphasizes the importance of both cognitive skills, such as problem-solving and information analysis, and conative skills, including self-awareness and interpersonal understanding, for success in the 21st-century knowledge economy. As part of The Classroom Strategies Series, it combines research insights with practical classroom strategies, featuring comprehension questions to enhance understanding and facilitate effective teaching and assessment of these essential skills.
