Assessing learning during a lesson can mean the difference between success and failure – for both teachers and students. This issue of EDCompass magazine offers a wealth of information related to curriculum and assessment, with tips, tools and best practices that may help you find new ways to evaluate the learning outcomes of your students and facilitate ongoing improvement.

In this month’s feature article, educators share their tips, experiences and resources for conducting powerful formative assessment in the classroom. In the Product Spotlight we’ve gathered together all the resources and information you need to use your SMART Response™ interactive response system for insightful assessment. And in our SMART Showcase School profile teachers from Speas Elementary share how they are helping at-risk students with SMART products.

We’re merging the magazine with the EDCompass blog!

On another note, we’d like to tell you about some exciting changes happening with EDCompass magazine. As part of our continued efforts to bring you timely tips, best practices and news from SMART, EDCompass magazine is merging with the EDCompass blog.

Beginning in November, we will start delivering all of your favorite articles, including our Showcase School, Product Spotlight and guest articles through the blog.

We hope you enjoy this final issue of EDCompass magazine.
