Developmental Continuums: A Framework For Literacy Instruction And Assessment K-8

Developmental Continuums: A Framework for Literacy Instruction and Assessment K-8

The second book in Bonnie Campbell Hill's Corner Pieces of Assessment Series, this guide builds on the first book, Classroom Based Assessment, by linking assessment to developmental continuums. These continuums can be aligned with standards and curriculum, and are based on current thinking about literacy acquisition while reflecting a child-centered, constructivist and developmental philosophy of teaching and learning . . . yet they are practical and easy to use! Continuums can be linked to student self-evaluation, portfolios, student-led conferences and can become part of your report card. Developmental continuums provide a common language between administrators, teachers, students, and parents.
