It's critically important that teachers attend to both content and language development when introducing new subject matter, especially for English learners. Here's your opportunity to get started tomorrow and every day thereafter: Alison Bailey and Margaret Heritage's all-new Progressing Students' Language Day by Day.
Culled from over two decades of classroom expertise, this essential guide shows readers how to Create learning targets that are scalable and transferable within and across units Develop instructional scales for each learning target that define the increasing complexity of the skill progression Design non-scored practice activities, intentional formative assessments, and summative assessments to provide reliable, individual evidence of achievement toward learning targets Introduce and model skills that will be assessed and design tasks that allow students to use these skills to practice with the content Maintain a gradebook that tracks summative achievement of learning targets, and score assessments accordingly Communicate clearly and efficiently with all students and families about progress and learning
The authors' overlay of high impact strategies with the seven strategies of assessment for learning acts as a guide for teachers and leaders to maintain focus for professional development and high impact classroom practices. The book also provides an updated set of examples that explain the seven strategies: clear learning targets and models of strong and weak student work (where am I going?); descriptive feedback and self-assessment and goal setting (where am I now?); and diagnosing learning needs and matching with high impact strategies, focused practice with feedback, and self-reflection and tracking progress (what are my next steps?). Finally, the book presents organizing structures based on the most recent aggregations of empirical evidence (Hattie, 2009; 2012) so that teachers and leaders can make informed choices for areas of emphasis and focus.
