Continues with techniques for progress monitoring (observation, questions), formulating and delivering feedback (task, process, self), and follow-up (remediation, review). Addresses use of multiple assessments (selected and constructed response, portfolio) and additional procedures for adapting tasks (accommodations, modifications). Concludes with information for establishing accountability systems (grading, scales, weighting) and for promoting student motivation (reflection, goal setting).
