Qualitative Assessment and Student-Centered Instruction

By: Rona F. Flippo,Kristin Gehsmann,Juliet Halladay

The third edition of Assessing Readers continues to bridge the gap between authentic, informal, and formative assessments and more traditional quantitative and summative assessment approaches. Designed to assist educators and reading specialists in making informed decisions about not only what to assess, but also how, it provides teachers with a menu of qualitative assessment options, encouraging them to consider their own values and beliefs in light of the goals they have for the students they teach. Building on nearly four decades of theory, research, and practice, it is up to date with current research and offers specific assessment, instruction, and organizational ideas and strategies. With an emphasis on comprehension, motivation and engagement, and developing strategic knowledge, Assessing Readers offers a road map for teachers trying to meet the demands of increasingly rigorous standards. Features include examples of student-centered assessment, ideas for organizing and managing differentiated instruction, sample lesson plans, and authentic case studies. Accessible and practical, the third edition empowers pre-service and in-service teachers alike, encouraging them to think about the importance of their assessment and instructional choices and supporting them with the tools they need to achieve their goals and meet the needs of all students. Changes in the Third Edition: A new focus on literacy development and developmentally responsive instruction Expanded coverage of emergent literacy and the assessment of foundational skills, including concepts about print, storybook reading, phonological and phonemic awareness, alphabet knowledge, and concept of word in text A new section on assessing vocabulary and morphological knowledge Expanded coverage of response to instruction/intervention (RTI) New information on assessment and instruction of culturally and linguistically diverse students Increased attention to issues of social justice, educational equity, and anti-bias practices

Making Tests Work for Teachers

By: Rona F. Flippo

Designed to help middle and high school teachers, as well as students new to the rigor of college, Studying and Learning in a High Stakes World incorporates test preparation into classrooms without asking teachers to “teach to the test.” Instead, it enables teachers to focus on course content while simultaneously providing high quality, scaffolded study strategies. Whether they are facing a high stakes exam, or merely preparing students for a chapter quiz, the strategies modeled in this book allow teachers to “use” tests as platforms for students’ learning. This book is divided into three parts that address how to: •Get students organized and in the right frame of mind to study, learn, and take tests •Study for essay and objective tests •Answer essay and objective questions and take tests Studying and Learning features close learning strategies, ESL Best Practices, and alignment to the Common Core State Standards in order to help teachers make tests work for them.

Reading Researchers in Search of Common Ground

By: Rona F. Flippo

Investigating what 11 eminent literacy scholars with diverse philosophies could agree to regarding contexts and practices for teaching reading, this book presents comprehensive analyses of these findings, dubbed the "Expert Study," and their implications. It includes a reprint of the 1998 article "Points of Agreement: A Display of Professional Unity in Our Field," which provides background on the Expert Study; the voices of experts who took part in the study, along with additional distinguished literacy scholars who have specialized experiences and vantage points from which to view the Expert Study; and recommendations for use of the Expert Study findings. After a foreword, preface, and biographies, chapters in Part 1 (The Study, Findings, and Experts' Points of View) are: (1)"About the Expert Study: Report and Findings" (Rona F. Flippo); (2) "Point of View: Richard C. Anderson" (Linda G. Fielding); (3) "On Being an 'Expert' with a Point of View: Ten Years On" (Brian Cambourne); (4) "My Point of View" (Edward Fry); (5) "Always a Teacher: From Teacher to Teacher Educator to Researcher" (Yetta M.

Rude); (9) "Developing Readers" (Scott G. Paris); (10) "Life in the Radical Middle: A Personal Apology for a Balanced View of Reading" (P. David Pearson); (11) "Point of View: George Spache" (Richard D. Robinson); and (12) "Principled Pluralism for Adaptive Flexibility in Teaching and Learning To Read" (Rand J. Spiro). Chapters in Part 2 (Making Sense of Literacy) are: (13) "What We Know about Multicultural Education and Students of Diverse Backgrounds" (Kathryn H. Au); (14) "What We Know about Readers Who Struggle" (Victoria Purcell-Gates); and (15) "What We Know about Motivation To Read" (Linda B. Gambrell).
