The Classroom Teacher -- 5. The Professional Development of Teachers -- 6. A Renewed Vision for Professional Development -- 7. Systemic Change.-.This book examines the history of formative assessment in the US and explores its potential for changing the landscape of teaching and learning to meet the needs of twenty-first century learners. The author uses case studies to illuminate the complexity of teaching and the externally imposed and internally constructed contextual elements that affect assessment decision-making. In this book, Box argues effectively for a renewed vision for teacher professional development that centers around the needs of students in a knowledge economy. Finally, Box offers an overview of systemic changes that are needed in order for progressive teaching and relevant learning to take place.Educational tests and measurementsEducationCurriculaEducationHistoryTeachersTraining ofAssessment and TestingCurriculum StudiesHistory of EducationTeaching and Teacher EducationEducational tests and measurements.EducationCurricula.EducationHistory.TeachersTraining of.Assessment and Testing.Curriculum Studies.History of Education.Teaching and Teacher Education.370.973021375.0010973Box Cathyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062999BOOK9910337752803321Formative Assessment in United States Classrooms2529545UNINA
