The Learning Progression Model

Transforming Assessment to Support Student Success

By: Elise Naramore

Narrated by: Claire Shadrawy

The Learning Progression Model (LPM) offers a flexible and effective framework focusing on improvement over time, emphasizes learning as a process rather than an endpoint, encourages academic risk-taking, and fosters positive student-teacher relationships.

This model defines outcomes based on a limited number of skills, provides ample opportunities for formative assessment, and allows multiple attempts without penalty. The LPM also removes nonacademic factors from grading and uses descriptive scoring to decrease attempts to quantify performances. By incorporating reflective practice, this model promotes a growth mindset and helps students meet their developmentally appropriate level. In this book, the author will show you how to implement LPM in your classroom, with a special focus on the logistics of “grading.”

The book is organized into 4 sections:

• the rationale
• a comprehensive exploration of the key concepts, strategies, and practical applications essential for effective implementation
• how to integrate LPM within a traditional grading system
• challenges and opportunities within the broader educational landscape.

There are also over 100 real life artifacts and supplementary materials available to provide guidance and immediate action. Grounded in research but eminently practical, this book is meant for K-16 educators at all levels and disciplines, as well as administrators and school leaders.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
