Description

Improving education in the United States requires school districts to make smart decisions. By examining the gaps between what research says works and what schools actually do, Wiliam provides evidence-based changes to implement for successful school improvement efforts. This book helps districts, school leaders, and stakeholders learn how to become critical consumers of educational research capable of increasing student achievement.

This book will help educators:

Build a curriculum focused on developing knowledge
Support a culture where every teacher improves
Apply a framework for evaluating new district initiatives

About the Author
Wiliam, Dylan: - Dylan Wiliam is one of the world's foremost education authorities. He has helped to successfully implement classroom formative assessment in thousands of schools all over the world, including the United States, Singapore, Sweden, Australia, and the United Kingdom. A two-part BBC series, "The Classroom Experiment," tracked Dr. Wiliam's work at one British middle school, showing how formative assessment strategies empower students, significantly increase engagement, and shift classroom responsibility from teachers to their students so that students become agents of and collaborators in their own learning. Dylan Wiliam is Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London. After a first degree in mathematics and physics, he taught in urban schools for seven years, during which time he earned further degrees in mathematics and mathematics education.
