"This is a surprising and welcome book... a heartening read that shows the power of assessment for learning and the potential for academics and teachers jointly to put into practice ideas that can improve classroom learning and teaching."
TES

The starting point of this book was the realisation that research studies worldwide provide hard evidence that development of formative assessment raises students' test scores. The significant improvement in the achievements of the students in this project confirms this research, while providing teachers, teacher trainers, school heads and others leaders with ideas and advice for improving formative assessment in the classroom.

Assessment for Learning is based on a two-year project involving thirty-six teachers in schools in Medway and Oxfordshire. After a brief review of the research background and of the project itself, successive chapters describe the specific practices which teachers found fruitful and the underlying ideas about learning that these developments illustrate. Later chapters discuss the problems that teachers encountered when implementing the new practices in their classroom and give guidance for school management and LEAs about promoting and supporting the changes.

This book offers valuable insights into assessment for learning as teachers describe in their own words how they turned the ideas into practical action in their schools.

    Dylan Wiliam, PhD, is a consultant who works with educators all over the world to develop effective, research-based teaching. He is former deputy director (Provost) of the Institute of Education at the University of London. From teaching in urban public schools to directing a large-scale testing program to serving in university administration, his professional path has led to a variety of positions at the forefront of education.

    After completing an undergraduate degree in science and mathematics, he taught mathematics, science and English in private and urban public schools for eight years during which time he gained further degrees in mathematics and mathematics education. In 1984 he joined the faculty of Chelsea College, University of London, which later became part of King's College London. Here, he worked on developing innovative assessment schemes in mathematics before taking on the leadership of the College's mathematics teacher preparation program.

    From 1989 to 1991, Dr. Wiliam served as the academic coordinator of the Consortium for Assessment and Testing in Schools, which developed a variety of assessments for the national curriculum of England and Wales. He then returned to King's College to serve as Dean of the School of Education before being promoted to assistant principal of the college. From 2003 to 2006 Dr. Wiliam was senior research director at the Educational Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey.

    During his academic career, he has written over 300 books, chapters and articles including a major review of research on formative assessment coauthored with Paul Black. He left the University of London in 2010 to focus on working more directly with teachers, and now spends his time working with teachers all over the world on improving teaching and learning. He lives physically in Princeton, NJ and virtually at www.dylanwiliam.net. You can follow him on Twitter at @dylanwiliam.

I used this book to lead a teacher action research group in my school district. It was a wonderful balance of the principles of assessment for learning coupled with classroom vignettes demonstrating AfL in action. The teachers I worked with were inspired to develop excellent applications for their own classrooms that had a major impact on student learning.

This teaches you how to make people learn, not how to teach! I am a doctor, this is about Primary School teaching - best book I have ever read for learning to help students and doctors to learn! Go on, break out of your silo you doctors! Brilliant stuff - read it on one night and change your teaching forever

5.0 out of 5 stars Der schwierige Weg der formativen Evaluation in die Unterrichtspraxis
Reviewed in Germany on March 31, 2016
Verified Purchase
Paul Black & Dylan Wiliam sind die beiden Wissenschaftler, deren Metaevaluation der Forschungen zur "formativen Evaluation" in der Wissenschaft begeistert aufgenommen worden ist. In der Zwischenzeit ist klar, dass die Verbreitung dieser hochwirksamem Vorgehensweise zur Sicherung der Lernfortschritte aller Schülerinnen und Schüler in die Praxis hochselektiver Schulsysteme (Deutschland, USA, auch GB) nicht einfach ist. Die beiden Autoren haben sich mit einigen Mitstreiterinnen schon Anfang dieses Jahrtausends auf den Weg gemacht, die Probleme der Implementation zu erkunden und Wege zu finden, sie zu überwinden. Das wird in dem Büchlein sehr praxisbezogen und mit viel Empathie für die Lehrpersonen, die ja in anderen Welten sozialisiert worden sind, dargestellt. Es wird nicht über die Lehrpersonen hergezogen, sondern sie werden in ihrer Unterschiedlichkeit akzeptiert und es wird an vielen Einzelpersonen gezeigt, wie sie den Weg zum Einbau der formativen Evaluation in ihren Unterricht gefunden haben.

I am a Clinical Teacher in a hospital. Reading this book about secondary education transformed my whole approach to teaching and learning. Gone are all those boring PowerPoints, replaced with a couple of smart questions, some protected stress free thinking time, and then off into lively discussions and debates. Pages 32 to 41 on questioning are worth the price of the whole book. I could go on and on, but just buy the book and persevere!

Bought this book to help with a Uni assignment. Very well laid out. Covers and expands on the information in the "Black Box" series of books. Good value for money compared to the price of the "Black Box" books.

Could not have written my essay without it - hence the five stars.
