Learning Through Assessment: Assessment for Learning in the Science Classroom

by: Anne Davies

This chapter presents an extended example from a middle school science classroom of what assessment that supports learning looks like. In the example, the teacher models assessment for learning by talking about learning with her students; showing samples of quality work; setting and using criteria; helping students self-assess and set goals; providing specific, descriptive feedback; and helping students to collect evidence of learning and to use that evidence to communicate with peers and adults.
