Re: new article on assessment for learning

["PRISCILLA GUTIERREZ" <pgutpgut@msn.com>]

I used Stiggins' book, Student Involved Assessment, in my recent university 
course on assessment and evaluation  and would highly recommend it.  He does 
a thorough job of addressing learning across  domains (content knowledge, 
reasoning, performance, etc.) and the types of assessment that match them. 
He also brings teachers' focus back on the student - to give them the tools 
they need to take ownership for their learning.  He also does a nice job of 
talking about grading and the issues surrounding them...sort of reminded me 
of Thomas Guskey's work, who I also admire.
