WHAT THE AUTHOR is SAYING…
“This book is long overdue. Too often in education assessment is the tail that wags the dog. Teachers decide HOW they will teach as a result of assessment practices that are depersonalizing, not strength-based, and do not empower the student in knowing themselves better as learners and as young people. This book helps complete the landscape of inquiry to include the assessment realm of learning.”
