Using Assessment To Guide Instruction: Before You Watch

Video Summary

The video for this session examines assessment practices that measure student performance and progress, and inform instructional decisions. In her lecture, Dr. Jeanne R. Paratore reviews the principles of classroom-based assessment and engages the workshop participants in a discussion of their own assessment practices. The participants then watch and discuss a set of classroom excerpts illustrating Dr. Paratore's lecture. In the final activity, workshop participants assess a first-grader's reading and writing samples.
