NEW! FROM EDUCATION WORLD
***************************************************************************

Each week, Education World spotlights books of interest to educators. This week, read a brief summary of two more of our "top 50 books for educators."

Educative Assessment: Designing Assessments to Inform and Improve Student Performance
Grant Wiggins is one of the most important education thinkers and writers because he has a unique and logical point of view on a fundamental aspect of school -- assessment. In this book, Wiggins attempts to envision what assessment reform would look like if it were to succeed, and then fleshes out his vision with strong logic and significant detail. Wiggins shows his ability to take the discussion to a higher level in the later chapters of this book by arguing that getting assessment right is not only an education priority but in fact a moral imperative.

Foreign Language Teacher's Guide to Active Learning
This book starts with a grounding in brain research and applies its key concepts to making foreign-language teaching in the middle and high school more active and engaging. With practical activity suggestions and other considerations for teaching to multiple intelligences, activities related to specific themes such as holidays and based on specific creative ideas, like Jeopardy-style games, the book culminates in chapters on alternative assessment and incorporating technology. With foreign-language teaching so often falling into well-worn patterns, and with our national level of language skills lagging far behind other countries, this is a valuable addition to the education bookshelf.
