In this volume aimed at teachers and administrators, Waterman, a former teacher and current educational consultant and instructional coach who specializes in curriculum design, differentiation, assessment, literacy, and mentoring, explains ways to create differentiated formative assessments for middle and high school social studies and English classrooms, including how to collaborate to improve assessment procedures. She describes how to apply standards to assessment; provides step-by-step procedures for developing measurable objectives to differentiate by readiness (in terms of struggling, typical, and gifted learners), interests, and learning styles (mastery-based, understanding-based, self-expressive-based, interpersonal-based, and combining all of these learning styles); and shows how to adjust instruction for the whole class, small groups, and individuals.
