Synopsis

Taking a common sense approach to the complex set of assessment challenges teachers face today, respected author Mark Conley maps a clear route to balance in the use of large-scale assessment to serve its intended purposes and the use of classroom assessment to meet the information needs of its intended users.

Sure to get students engaged and thinking critically about assessment in standards-based schools, Conley challenges students to address a critical assessment issue: assessment, evaluation and grading practices born and bred to produce dependable rankings-that is, to help only a few students succeed-must now be transformed into practices that permit all students to succeed. Some of the topics featured in the text (e.g. No Child Left Behind, national and state standards and instruction in relation to assessment) have been carefully selected for their currency, importance and students' needs.

About the Book

Demystifying the relationships among assessment, standards, and classroom practice, Connecting Standards and Assessment through Literacy prepares teachers to create effective instruction plans. Dr. Conley addresses No Child Left Behind legislation as well as state and national standards, offering teachers not only a clear framework to link standards and assessment through instruction, but also an up-to-the-moment road map to navigate state and national education requirements.

Dr. Conley's simple and meaningful assertion is that literacy connects standards and assessment. The text demonstrates this connection plainly, breaking down the issues related to standards and assessment one at a time and explaining how teachers can proceed to create integrated lesson plans. Application exercises at the end of every chapter enable teachers to confirm their mastery.

“Connecting Standards and Assessment through Literacy demystifies the standards movement by clearly laying out what it means for schools, school districts, and parents in terms of classroom instruction and assessment. Without undermining the importance of teachers as professional decision makers, Mark Conley delivers his message in a way that makes it possible for educators at all levels to see the connections between standards and assessments and how those connections, when appropriately interpreted, can translate into improved literacy teaching and learning. In a word, this book is solid.”
