The Assessment Playbook for Distance & Blended Learning: Measuring Student Learning in Any Setting

by Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, Vince Bustamante (Contributor)

*Running Time => 3hrs. and 48mins.*

Design assessments that measure and target student learning in both face-to-face and distance learning environments

Assessments are the essential link between teaching and learning, yet the assessments used in face-to-face classrooms are not always practical or impactful in remote learning environments. Now that teachers are teaching from a distance, how will you assess what your students have learned?

Tapping the expertise of teachers who are successfully engaged in distance learning, 'THE ASSESSMENT PLAYBOOK FOR DISTANCE & BLENDED LEARNING' answers that question. Rich with a wide range of examples, strategies, and assessments that can be leveraged with rigor and fidelity regardless of learning environment, this practical playbook empowers teachers with the decision-making tools needed to gauge the impact of instructional strategies in today's rapidly evolving educational landscape.

This book features:

▪︎
"Assessment cookies," or insights that endure in any distance or hybrid learning environment and can be used to inform assessment decisions, including the understanding that "everything is searchable"
▪︎
A robust "playlist" of distance learning assessment tools - including universal response, teach-back opportunities, composing, taking action, self-assessment, and peer assessment - that teachers can mix and deploy to match every learning intention
▪︎
Information on how to evaluate the impact of your teaching on student learning - and how assessment can guide your teaching moves
▪︎
Characteristics of formal tools of evaluation, such as tests, longer essays, and performance tasks that teachers can use in distance learning environments to document learning for reporting purposes

[Michelle Picard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Powerful and practical. If I were to write a subtitle it would be effective literacy practices for all subjects and ages.

[Jackie · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I did find some new ideas, the strategies were ones I already knew about. However, having the strategies together in one place for references with information makes this book great.
