AN IMPORTANT AND HELPFUL BOOK FOR EDUCATORS
Reality Check: Assessing for Achievement
By Brenda Protheroe & Doug Hilker / Edited by Joan Green
This book is about learning and, more importantly, about one of the activities that is at the heart of learning: giving students timely and specific feedback on their work.
Reality Check: Assessing for Achievement
- Presents teachers with ideas on how to implement assessment in the Grades 4-12 Classrooms.
- Offers suggestions for designing effective formative assessments that will enable teachers to maximize the positive impact of their feedback to their students.
- Features Reality Checks that illustrate practical teaching and learning situations, and offer opportunities for teachers to collaborate and share their own ideas and experiences.
- Includes What Students Say, direct quotes from students of a Grade 12 class. These students share their thoughts on how their teachers have most effectively helped them improve their work in any subject area. Their views can act as catalysts for conversations among teachers in looking at the whole instructional / assessment program.
Reality Check: Assessing for Achievement is written with the aim of helping students on their journey to literacy. It recognizes that student learning - like their full participation in the economies, cultures, and future of our world - cannot be left to chance.
