Riassunto:

Encourage achievement with assessments that promote growth—for every student!

When you make restorative assessment part of your classroom culture, students feel safe, ready for challenges, and eager to showcase their strengths whenever they have the chance. Unlike ordinary testing, restorative assessments offer students multiple ways to demonstrate their learning—which promotes equity and reduces conflict. And since assessments happen regularly, you have more opportunities to check student progress and tailor your teaching accordingly. In this guide, you’ll find:

• Real-world examples of restorative assessment in practice
• Cutting-edge research on personalized learning and assessment
• Practical strategies for implementation
• Action points and reflection questions
