Sticky Assessment

<p><em>Sticky Assessment</em> is a straightforward guide to assessment, designed to demystify assessment and to give teachers the tools they need become better assessors. Translating the latest research into a concise and practical volume, this book helps teachers to monitor student learning, make assessment engaging and meaningful for students, and to use assessment that improves rather than merely measures learning outcomes. With examples from classroom teachers and exercises designed to help teachers think through their processes, this book will be an invaluable and lasting resource for classroom teachers. </p> <p>TABLE OF CONTENTS</p><p>List of Figures, Tables, and Images</p><p>Preface</p><p>Acknowledgements</p><p>Introduction</p><p>Chapter 1: Purposeful Assessment: Planned, Progressive, and Cyclical </p><p>Planning for Assessment</p><p>Teaching as a Continual Act of Assessment</p><p>Deliberate Assessment</p><p>The Value of Blueprints</p><p>Deconstructing Standards</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Aligned and Progressive Assessment</p><p>Alignment with Learning Targets</p><p>Alignment through Progressions</p><p>Assessment that Supports Learning</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Sequenced and Cyclical Assessment</p><p>From Large-Scale to Classroom</p><p>Recurring Cycles</p><p>Using the Assessment Cycle</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Reciprocal and Responsive Assessment</p><p>Reciprocal Give and Take</p><p>Responding to Assessment</p><p>Unexpected Outcomes</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Chapter Summary</p><p>Key Ideas</p><p>Why this Works</p><p>Reflection and Application</p><p>Chapter 2: Informative Assessment (Assessment for Learning, Learning from Assessment)</p><p>Clear Learning Targets</p><p>Visible Outcomes</p><p>Coherent Assessment</p><p>Transparent to All</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Formative Assessment</p><p>Formative Process</p><p>Formative Practice</p><p>Formative for a Purpose</p><p>Formative by Placement</p><p>In Practice </p><p>Assessment that Illuminates</p><p>Supports Learners</p><p>The Value of Feedback</p><p>Learning from Mistakes</p><p>Informs and Guides Instruction</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Emphasis on Growth and Improvement</p><p>Learning for Mastery</p><p>Assessment that is Growth Oriented</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Chapter Summary</p><p>Key Ideas</p><p>Why this Works</p><p>Reflection and Application</p><p>Chapter 3: Sticky Assessment: Where Learning Takes Hold</p><p>Assessment that Motivates</p><p>Mindset</p><p>Drive</p><p>Stress Management</p><p>Relationship Building</p><p>Students as Assessors</p><p>Assessment Habits</p><p>Engaging Learners </p><p>Choice Boosts Accountability</p><p>Encouraging Metacognition</p><p>Reasonable Challenge</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Flexible Assessment</p><p>Differentiation</p><p>Differentiating Content</p><p>Differentiating Process</p><p>Differentiating Product</p><p>Differentiating with Technology</p><p>In Practice</p><p>Embedded Assessment</p><p>Integrating Learning and Assessing</p><p>Assessment as Learning</p><p>Higher and Deeper</p><p>Releasing Responsibility</p><p>Chapter Summary</p><p>Key Ideas</p><p>Why this works</p><p>Reflection and Application</p><p>Chapter 4: Technically Sound Assessment </p><p>Technically Sound Assessment</p><p>Valid</p><p>Reliable</p><p>Fair</p><p>Balanced</p><p>Chapter Summary</p><p>Key Ideas</p><p>Why this Works</p><p>Reflection and Application</p><p>Summary: Endings are New Beginnings</p><p>Returning to the Roots of Assessment</p><p>Finding Balance</p><p>Assessment Systems</p><p>Local Systems </p><p>Elements of an Assessment System</p><p>Local Assessment Cycle</p><p>Strengthening Classroom Assessment</p><p>Supporting Teachers</p><p>Developing Students</p><p>Fostering a Culture of Assessment</p><p>Prerequisites to Change</p><p>Restorative Assessment</p><p>In Closing</p><p>References</p><p>Indexes</p>
