Leading education authority Dylan Wiliam explains how formative assessment, when applied properly, helps to create a structured and rigorous learning environment that increases student achievement. He also presents compelling research to give readers a clear picture of:
· Changes in classroom practice that are likely to increase learning
· Differentiated instruction (DI) and response to intervention (RTI)
· Group leadership's role in ensuring productive collaboration
· Strategies to integrate formative assessment into teacher evaluation
Wiliam also discusses why efforts to change classroom practice have been relatively unsuccessful-and explores specific classroom tactics that do tend to raise student achievement.
