Based on the Work-Sampling System, this book provides directions and worksheets so that teachers can effectively use observational assessments to gauge students' learning in a variety of grades and subjects. Thinking like a Teacher will help prospective teachers connect child development, instruction, and curriculum to teaching, learning, and assessment. It will help prospective teachers gain a sense of what to teach, what to look for while observing students, what to document about children's learning, and how to assess the impact of one's personal performance and achievement. The book contains more than 40 hands-on assignments that form a basis for continuing professional exploration. For pre-service and in-service educators.
