Responsive Assessment

Academic assessment has historically taken many forms, but in current practice usually comes down to traditional standardized testing. This book offers compelling arguments and practical techniques for shifting the focus of assessment away from conventional practices and the policies they sustain. Responsive Assessment examines the nature of learning in schools and the ways academic assessment can be used responsively to support learning and provide children with a sure sense of themselves as learners. This book offers detailed case examples of how this approach can be applied in reading, writing, and mathematics.Henning-Stout, Mary is the author of 'Responsive Assessment' with ISBN 9781555426453 and ISBN 155542645X.
