This system is easy and will result in relevant data to use for differentiation. The assessments are directly based on the work of the classroom rather than developed by an outside entity. They reflect the real work of the classroom and can be used to provide students, parents, and administrators with specific targeted feedback about the learning. In addition, teachers are guided in the design of differentiated assignments to help their students reach the grade level standards.

Assessment for Learning: A Practical Approach for the Classroom by Eileen Dial offers helpful, classroom-based suggestions for teachers and teams.  I encourages teachers and teams to carefully consider these thoughtful and useful assignments and assessments. -- Nancy W. Sindelar, PhD, author, consultant and professor\u003cbr\u003eDr. Dial lays the foundation for student learning by presenting the essentials for professional learning communities:  a blueprint of long-range planning, lesson planning, designing effective selected and constructed response assessments and rubrics all constructed from standards.  Guiding questions, discussion questions, and reflections for teams put the practice in this “practical” text as teacher teams learn more about differentiation based on the analysis of common formative assessments aligned to CCSS standards through the TIDES learning loop process and how to support student learning with true differentiation of content, process, and product.  The examples and models provide support and structure effective student learning.  This is a must-read for teacher teams and Principal teams in order to create results in student learning. -- Vanessa Karwan, EdD, president of Core Learning Consulting, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction Chapter 1 What is Assessment?
