Description - Differentiated Assessment by Evangeline Harris Stefanakis
A comprehensive assessment system for working with
underperforming students
This book describes a comprehensive assessment system especially
appropriate for multilingual and "differentiated" classrooms with
large numbers of underperforming students. Drawing from Multiple
Intelligences theory, the approach is specifically aimed at helping
teachers understand how each student learns and how best to tailor
instruction to serve individual students' needs. Although the
program makes use of conventional standardized tests and disability
screenings, it places special importance on two approaches in
particular: Student Portfolio Assessments and Personalized Learning
Profiles.
Provides detailed guidance and practical tools (including a
DVD) for implementing successful portfolio and "profile" practices
in the classroom
Includes real-world examples of model assessment programs from
five schools
Explains how to integrate assessment into the instructional
process as well as how the portfolio program can be used
Formal profiles provide vital information about each student's
cultural background, interests, strengths, and capabilities as well
as their individual learning and language needs.
