The Classroom Assessment Project to Improve Teaching and Learning (CAPITAL), a collaborative research initiative between Stanford University and middle school science teachers in nearby school districts, examined classroom-based assessment in science. The teachers shared ideas with one another, and the university staff introduced research findings and ideas into the conversations. The CAPITAL teachers co-authoring this chapter described themselves as moving away from the role of teacher as giver of grades to teacher as conductor of learning. They increased their interactions with students during class time and better assisted students toward achieving the learning goals.
