Assessment in the Learning Organization: Shifting the Paradigm

This book offers middle school educators practical information about inquiry-based, interdisciplinary learning. The authors explore the underlying cognitive, social, and moral reasons why it is developmentally appropriate for young adolescents to become active researchers; how the I-Searchone kind of inquiry-based, interdisciplinary unittranslates theory into practice in a manageable way so that it fits into the real lives of middle school teachers; what teaching, learning, and assessment within an I-Search Unit look like in practice and how this relates to technology use, content-area standards, and current theories of education; and how to promote successful implementation by having facilitators and administrators create the supportive structures teachers need to engage in cycles of curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation. 
 Based on 10 years' work with middle schools and interdisciplinary teams, this book shows teachers and students asking real-life questions, searching for answers, and presenting their new understanding of "overarching concepts" from the effect of overfishing on a region's economy, to the social and emotional effects of natural disasters, to the health implications of water pollution. Teachers and students explored community resources, read varied materials, conducted interviews, and used technology to keep track of their work--which culminated in I-Search reports and exhibitions.

Revitalizing the Disciplines: The Best of ASCD's Curriculum Update

This collection of articles from ASCD's Curriculum Update newsletter brings together some of the most thought-provoking pieces about the evolving K-12 curriculum in the 1990s, from the call to provide students with "authentic" learning experiences to the efforts to define and apply clear standards for both content and performance. The editors have organized the articles into seven sections: language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, the arts, world languages, and health and physical education. For anyone taking on the challenge of curriculum renewal--whether at the classroom, school, district, or state level--these articles provide background information and plenty of practical ideas for pursuing the elusive goal of a "state-of-the-art" curriculum.

Transforming Classroom Practice: The Best of ASCD's Update Newsletters

Great ideas and great programs are as varied as the minds that conceive them and try them out. In that spirit, this book brings together articles from ASCD's Update newsletters on some of the most interesting and ambitious ideas and trends in education today, including bilingual education, constructivism, inclusion, integrating the curriculum, multi-age classrooms, multiple intelligences, and preparing students for the workplace. 
The book is filled with examples of real schools that are making a profound difference in the lives of their students, from the New City School in St. Louis, Missouri, known for its unique application of the theory of multiple intelligences, to the La Salle Academy in Providence, Rhode Island, which has gained attention for its program supporting students' social and emotional growth. 
Readers curious about how schools are successfully working to meet the diverse and changing needs of students will be encouraged and inspired by the rich variety of approaches featured in this collection.
