DVD and flash drive with presentation (flash drive also includes handouts, e-materials, and links)

Presented at Solution Tree's Assessment Summit (2008)
Atlanta, GA

Dr. Marzano uses the framework described in Classroom Assessment and Grading That Work and Making Standards Useful in the Classroom to outline strategies for designing and scoring formative assessments. He also addresses how to use formative assessments as the basis for grading and reporting practices. During this session, Dr. Marzano focuses on 1) the inadequacy of the 100-point scale, a generic template for scale (rubric) design, 2) designing measurement topics, 3) computing final status on measurement topics, 4) traditional grading practices in a formatively based system, and 5) new forms of report cards for formative assessment.
