Developing Assessment-Capable Visible Learners, Grades K-12: Maximizing Skill, Will, and Thrill (Corwin Literacy)

<strong>“When students know how to learn, they are able to become their own teachers.”</strong><br /><br />—Nancy Frey, Douglas Fisher, and John Hattie<br /><br /><br /><br />Imagine students who describe their learning in these terms: “I know where I’m going, I have the tools I need for the journey, and I monitor my own progress.” Now imagine the extraordinary difference this type of ownership makes in their progress over the course of a school year. <br /><br /><br /><br />This illuminating book shows how to make this scenario an everyday reality. With its foundation in principles introduced in the authors’ bestselling <em>Visible Learning for Literacy</em>, this resource delves more deeply into the critical component of self-assessment, revealing the most effective types of assessment and how each can motivate students to higher levels of achievement.
