Riassunto:

Enrich, grow, and sustain AfL in your classroom.

Twenty years after the publication of Inside the Black Box, the landmark review of formative classroom assessment, international education experts Christine Harrison and Margaret Heritage tackle assessment for learning (AfL) anew, with fresh insights gained from two decades of research, theory, and classroom practice. 

Packed with key AfL ideas and supports, vignettes that illustrate AfL in action, and practice-based evidence to enrich understanding of AfL from both the teacher’s and the student’s perspectives, this book is a ‘sounding board’ for educators to explore and reflect on their own AfL practices and beliefs.

 

Informazioni sugli autori:

Margaret Heritage is an independent consultant in education. For her entire career, her work has spanned both research and practice. In addition to spending many years in her native England as a practitioner, a university teacher, and an inspector of schools, she had an extensive period at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), first as principal of the laboratory school of the Graduate School of Education and Information Students and then as an Assistant Director at UCLA’s National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards and Student Testing. She has also taught courses in the Departments of Education at UCLA and Stanford University. She is a regular presenter at conferences across the United States and internationally. Her most recent book with Corwin, co-authored with Christine Harrison, is The Power of Assessment for Learning: Twenty Years of Research and Practice in UK and US Classrooms.

Christine Harrison is a Professor in Science Education at King’s College London, where she works as a researcher and teacher educator. Chris’s career began in schools and developed through curriculum development projects and examining in the U.K. before she began working on her own research. Working at a prestigious university, and also spending considerable time in classrooms on research and supporting pre-service teachers, Chris began to realize that there was a gap between research ideas and practice. To that end, she has worked with many teachers, researchers and organizations helping all learn from practice-based evidence so they can understand how practice across a variety of contexts centers around the principles of the research. Her work is published in peer-reviewed journals, edited books, and practitioner journals, and she has produced several on-line courses for teachers and researchers. Chris is Associate Director (London) for the Centre for Innovation in Teacher Education and Development, w a joint institutional strategic initiative between Teachers College, Columbia University and King’s College London, committed to the principles of equity and social justice. She is also a leading STEM educationalist in Europe working at research, practice and policy level.
