| Summary |
"With this in-depth resource from leaders in the field, educational researchers, administrators, and decision makers will be able to select a classroom observation system that matches their needs - whether they choose from available systems or design their own. Readers will explore nine field-tested observation systems, each with a different focus, such as: assessing the effectiveness of early reading instruction for English-language learners; evaluating reading instruction in general education classrooms that include students with learning disabilities and emotional/behavioral disorders; observing classroom action and interaction and how they affect reading lessons; improving the writing performance of students who struggle; and reviewing schoolwide literacy outcomes and determining professional development needs." |
|
"Each chapter examines the development of one system or method, describes its field testing, includes solid research on reliability and validity, weighs its strengths and limitations, and (in some cases) includes the actual tool discussed. A careful compilation of critical information, this book will help educational stakeholders choose the most effective systems and methods for assessing literacy outcomes, identifying methods that work, and highlighting directions for change."--BOOK JACKET |
