Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning

Are we preparing students for a life of tests or for the tests of life?

This hands-on book provides the practical tools that educators need to implement these ideas, including:

• Classroom activities
• Sample rubrics
• Forms, portfolios, questions, and checklists
• Examples of student work

Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning offers a more balanced and complete evaluation method that includes classroom-based assessments that complement state-based assessments. Authors Costa and Kallick illustrate the means to develop and cultivate the intellectual dispositions of self-evaluation and self-correction in all students.
