Portfolio Assessment by Sue Clark Wortham,Ann Barbour,Blanche Desjean-Perrotta Pdf

Although support for using portfolios in student assessment is widespread, few educators agree on what portfolios are and what their purposes should be. This book details a step-by-step process to help preschool and elementary educators get started in the use of portfolios for student assessment or gain new insights or strategies in their use. Chapter 1 introduces performance assessments and portfolios, and discusses current thinking about their use. Chapter 2 presents the framework for initiating portfolio assessment, including primary decisions that must be made when moving into portfolio assessment. Chapters 3 through 6 are case studies of individual and groups of teachers, and the process they used to begin using portfolio assessment in their individual teaching settings. Chapter 3 reflects the use of portfolios in a model child development center serving infants through 4-year-olds. Chapter 4 reports the experience of a group of teachers who restructured their school to improve the achievement of children from poor families. Chapter 5 reviews the experiences of teachers in the intermediate grades in implementing portfolio assessment, focusing on mathematics and science assessment. Chapter 6 details a project approach to curriculum development and the curriculum-portfolio connection in an after-school program. Chapter 7 discusses common elements from the four case studies: the decision to use portfolio assessment, philosophical bases for its use, selecting the purpose for portfolios, criteria for selecting assessment strategies, and collecting, interpreting, and reporting data. Five appendices include assessment forms. (KB)

Multifaceted Assessment for Early Childhood Education by Robert J. Wright Pdf

Multifaceted Assessment in Early Childhood is ideal for those on upper-division undergraduate courses and first-level graduate courses in early childhood education assessment. The book covers the various measures used in a range of assessment dimensions, and includes valuable information regarding young children with special needs and English Language Learners, which has rarely been touched upon in other textbooks. The chapters are focused on student accessibility and include practical applications of key concepts. Features and benefits: Covers a range of assessment concepts, including - Formative (uses feedback from learning to adapt teaching) -Summative (i.e. tests, quizzes) -Authentic (focuses on complex/deeper tasks) -Standardized (STAR, SAT) Includes coverage of assessment for English language learners and children with special needs -- topics that are not provided enough coverage in other books (including Wortham, McAfee, Puckett and Mindes). Wright's writing style grabs and engages the reader in the topic. Two of our reviewers who use Wortham specifically cited Wright's writing style as a reason they would adopt our book. A McAfee reviewer is likely to switch for the same reason.

Using Digital Portfolios to Develop Students’ Writing by Ricky Lam,Benjamin Luke Moorhouse Pdf

This book equips pre-service teachers, research postgraduate students, teacher educators, and language specialists with specific knowledge and skills about the principles, research, and applications of digital portfolios within the EFL writing contexts. While most digital portfolio scholarship focuses on higher education, this book targets primary-level and secondary-level school audiences, namely pre-service teachers, teacher educators, and Ministry of Education staff members with a focus on EFL writing. The rationale behind this design is that the published literature on digital portfolios tends to be generic and one-size-fits-all; there has been scant published scholarship about the development of digital portfolio literacy among teachers and pupils, which could enable them to upgrade the teaching and learning of writing in a larger EFL environment. This volume fills this gap by illustrating the why, what, and how aspects of digital portfolios in ten reader-friendly chapters. Guiding educators to enrich their pedagogical repertoire via the portfolio approach, this book emphasises a healthy balance between principles, research, and practice. It is an easy-to-follow guide to setting up digital portfolio systems and coaching pupils to improve writing, ensuring the dissemination of digital portfolios with high fidelity.
