The Learning Progression Model: Transforming Assessment to Support Student Success - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

What if assessment showed students how to grow instead of merely recording where they fell short?

The Learning Progression Model offers educators a practical way to shift attention from points and grade earning to meaningful, visible growth. Developed through decades of classroom practice, the model uses clear developmental pathways to describe what students can do now, what they are ready to learn next, and how their abilities develop over time.

Rather than tracking dozens of isolated standards or relying on vague numerical scales, the LPM focuses assessment on a manageable set of transferable practices. Students receive descriptive feedback, repeated opportunities to practice, and developmentally appropriate targets. Teachers gain a coherent system for planning assessment, communicating progress, and supporting learners with different starting points—while still working within schools that require traditional grades.

In this book, educators will learn how to:

• Identify a limited set of meaningful, transferable practices
• Design clear learning progressions that describe increasingly sophisticated performance
• Use assessment, feedback, practice, and reflection as one connected process
• Set targets that challenge students without making success inaccessible
• Translate developmental evidence into required grades without losing the focus on learning
• Adapt the model across grade levels, disciplines, and learning contexts

The book includes real classroom examples and connects readers to more than 100 practical artifacts and supplementary resources. Grounded in research and classroom experience, The Learning Progression Model is written for K–16 teachers, instructional coaches, curriculum and assessment leaders, administrators, and teacher educators seeking a more coherent and humane approach to assessment.
