Focused Assessment takes the educator through a systematic process that embraces the concept of 'assessment for learning'. It provides customisations that enable all learners to demonstrate proficiency according to their readiness level. This book explains how assessment can become a natural part of learning.
Using the same, step-by-step approach found in Focused Instruction: An Innovative Teaching Model for All Learners, this book provides research-based techniques for creating assessments that make sense to students and that enable teachers to continually refine the way they present lessons. Using purposeful, continuous and focused assessments at every stage of the learning process dramatically improves both student achievement and teacher effectiveness.
