商品簡介
Education consultant Barell, who taught at Montclair State U. prior to his retirement, identifies assessment techniques to measure growth in the development of K-8 students' twenty-first century skills: thinking critically and creatively, collaborating with others, becoming self-directed learners, adapting and becoming resourceful, and developing a sense of leadership, responsibility, and global awareness. Using case studies of four classrooms, he describes a variety of settings and ways to observe growth over a period of time, with discussion of teacher self-assessment; designing the invitational environment; planning that impacts assessment; preassessment; formative assessments; assessment of inquiry and problem solving, critical/creative thinking, and problem-based learning; and communicating with parents.
