Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning

Author: Arthur L. Costa & Bena Kallick
Stars: 4.5
Review by: Saraswati

This was a rather easy read for a text book.  This book focuses on assessments, as the title suggests, what they are, what they mean, and what a teacher can do.  The methods described are based on what I was taught as the scientific method.  Questions - formulate an answer - etc...  The big key to both this and the scientific method is re-evaluate after you complete your task.  In the text it is self-reflecting.  I think this is just a great life lesson.  The text contains a lot of sample handouts, grids, etc.  This is a good reference for teachers that want to make a difference.
