THE FACILITATOR'S GUIDE TO CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT K-12 multimedia kit is the right answer for educators who want to introduce classroom assessment into their schools and are looking for the resources to do it. Based on the work of noted author and educator, Dr. Anne Davies, and produced by the staff at Connections Publishing, the kit contains:

• an interactive CD with resource files including actual student samples, ready-to-use handouts, and overhead charts and diagrams
• a copy of the best-selling book, Making Classroom Assessment Work - 3rd Edition, and Knowing What Counts Series - 2nd Edition
• eight video clips totalling more than 26 minutes of footage
• an overview booklet filled with practical steps, suggestions, and examples

Using these tools, a skilled facilitator will be able to successfully lead professional development sessions in classroom assessment.

Whether your faculty has expertise with classroom assessment or not, this is an area for new learning and skill development that will pay off for teachers, students, parents, and administrators. The multimedia kit will engage your team members in exploring key ideas related to classroom assessment, and give you the tools to make it work for both educators and students. Based on topics covered by Dr. Davies and other well known educators at conferences and seminars around the world, and field-tested in many different situations, the Facilitator's Guide provides 25 practical and easy to follow conversations specifically designed for a facilitator to use with a group of teachers. Each conversation includes a learning goal, a list of materials, directions for getting started, ways to debrief, and ideas for participants so they are encouraged and supported to take action where it matters - in classrooms with students.

	The interactive CD contains 270 pages including handout materials that print directly to your ink jet or laser printer and provide unlimited new documents for future use. A companion video lets you sit in on conference presentations and one-on-one conversations with Dr. Anne Davies as she guides your group through theoretical discussions and specific examples relating to the material contained in the kit.
	80 pages of actual student samples give you and participating teachers a great guide to recognize if your own classroom assessment implementation process is on track.
	60 pages of clean blackline handouts for faculty and student use easily print on your laser or ink jet printer, ensuring a fresh supply of sharp graphics year after year.
	27 individual worksheets relating to the different conversations and exercises help learners discover the keys to classroom assessment.
	Overhead transparency masters help facilitators guide larger group workshop participants through important ideas easily, using different presentation media.
	Reprint articles help facilitators communicate key assessment ideas in simple ways that make sense.
