Description
This essential resource shows teachers how to observe students at work and use those observations to inform classroom instruction. It explores effective ways to collect evidence of student learning and guide them towards becoming active participants in the learning process. Helping students understand and clarify what they know and how to use success criteria to guide their work is a key focus. This practical book on assessment and feedback offers hands-on tools to help students track, document, and articulate their learning. These tools are designed to inform reflection and encourage conversation, so students can better explain, question, and refine their thinking.
