Performance assessment and learner-centered education come together in this latest extension of ASCD's Dimensions of Learning program. Dimensions of Learning program is an instructional framework based on the best of what research and theory say about learning. Marzano, Pickering, and McTighe explain how the Dimensions of Learning model relates to the new lifelong learning standards and content standards being developed in mathematics, science, and other subjects and include practical suggestions for assessing performance. They offer extensive examples of classroom tasks that help students achieve deep learning and promote active construction of knowledge, and suggest ways to score performance assessments and track achievement at the classroom, school, and district levels. |
