Show Notes
Today I have the privilege of sharing with you a conversation that I had with the phenomenal Professor Dylan Willam. He is the author of several books including, most recently Inside the Black Box: Raising Standards Through Classroom Assessment.
Dylan is Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London. He has had a diverse and prolific career teaching in urban public schools, directed a large-scale testing program, served as a Dean of a School of Education, and pursued a research program focused on supporting teachers to develop their use of assessment in support of learning.
In this conversation we talked about:
- Why we need to raise achievement.
- What formative assessment is and isn’t.
- The power of Teacher Learning Communities, and
- Why the same assessment instrument cannot serve multiple purposes.
I hope that you get as much out of our discussion as I did.
