Riassunto

In today's educational landscape, students are often judged by a single, high-stakes assessment that determines their future. But what if we gave them multiple opportunities to show their learning? In this book, "Who Packed Your Parachute? Why Multiple Attempts on Assessments Matter", we argue that allowing students to retake tests or redo assignments can lead to more meaningful and equitable assessments.

 

Through a combination of research, personal anecdotes, and practical advice, we explore the benefits of multiple attempts and address common objections. We discuss how to ensure fairness and validity, how to address concerns of teachers, students, and parents, and provide examples of successful implementation in classrooms.

 

This book is not just for educators, but for anyone interested in creating a more equitable and effective education system. Whether you're a parent, student, teacher, or administrator, "Who Packed Your Parachute?" will challenge your assumptions about assessment and inspire you to embrace a new way of evaluating learning. Join us in revolutionizing the way we think about student assessments.

Informazioni sull'autore

Cheryl Angst has been teaching in the classroom for over twenty-five years. With a Masters in curriculum and instruction, her passion centers around finding tips, tricks, and strategies to enhance her practice.

Cheryl is a firm believer that learning should be fun for both the students and the teacher. If it isn't engaging, or doesn't spark joy, it's likely able to be done differently.

The "Quick Reads for Busy Educators" series is designed to maximize the precious time educators have. Each book is short enough to be read in an hour or less, but contains a wealth of information on the topic. Some books are overviews of strategies and approaches (enough to help educators decide if it's for them) and some are deeper dives into specific aspects of those larger approaches. This allows busy educators to grab the information they need quickly and efficiently.

If there's a topic you'd like to see covered in the "Quick Reads" series, please let us know!
