Effective teachers empower students to accept responsibility for the learning process.
However, as my experiences become more and more diverse, my philosophy continues to manifest itself through new and exciting vehicles. This book offers an easy reference guide to the most current strategies for student-centered assessment. The three sections cover negotiable contracting, criteria assessment, and portfolios. The latter two sections include reproducible forms, which can be altered for classroom use. These were created in part by teachers whom I have trained and worked with at Robert Wagner Middle School located in Manhattan, New York.
