Instruction should not be . . .

Instruction should not be a Ouija-boardlike game in which teachers guess about what to do next.  Educating kids is far too important for that sort of approach.  Rather, instructing students should be a carefully conceived enterprise in which decisions about what to do next are predicated on the best available information.- W. James Popham

That information comes through formative assessment practices.
