      abstract = {"A comprehensive assessment system for working with  underperforming students This book describes a  comprehensive assessment system especially appropriate for  multilingual and "differentiated" classrooms with large  numbers of underperforming students. Drawing from Multiple  Intelligences theory, the approach is specifically aimed at  helping teachers understand how each student learns and how  best to tailor instruction to serve individual students'  needs. Although the program makes use of conventional  standardized tests and disability screenings, it places  special importance on two approaches in particular: Student  Portfolio Assessments and Personalized Learning Profiles.  Provides detailed guidance and practical tools (including a  DVD) for implementing successful portfolio and "profile"  practices in the classroom. Includes real-world examples of  model assessment programs from five schools. Explains how  to integrate assessment into the instructional process as  well as how the portfolio program can be used. Formal  profiles provide vital information about each student's  cultural background, interests, strengths, and capabilities  as well as their individual learning and language  needs."--},
