Starting a New Book: Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning
I have recently begun reading Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning by Jan Chappuis and am finding it quite informative thus far. The seven strategies are organized under Where am I going?, Where am I now?, and How can I close the gap?. In and of themselves, this grouping is not unique to Chappuis, nor does she assert that they are her creation. However, what I am appreciating thus far is her clear organizational structure that is aiding in my ability to make connections among the texts I have read by seeing them within Chappuis' organizational framework. So far, I have only covered the first two strategies (provide students with a clear and understandable vision of learning target and use examples and models of strong and weak work), but I already can see how the elements are fitting together. I will follow-up with additional postings to track my progress through this book, but in the meantime, I wanted to leave by sharing a link to a webinar created by the publishing company to cover the Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning.
