Inhaltsangabe

Assessment has emerged as one of the major components in the restructured school. "Alternative," "performance," and "authentic assessment" are on the lips of every educator, administrator, and consultant in the country.

Renowned author and educator Dr. Kay Burke supplies teachers with a wide range of alternative assessments that can be implemented easily and immediately into their classrooms, and takes readers step-by-step in building a conceptual understanding of this approach and demonstrates practical applications of assessment strategies.

Teachers will gain insight into:

Building observation checklists

What metacognitive reflection is and how to use it

Developing a unit plan using a multiple intelligences grid

Designing performance tasks and rubrics

When and where to use learning logs and journals

New ways to assess student interviews and conferences

A more effective approach to using grades

Constructing better teacher-made tests
