Great teaching requires adapting instruction when students' needs shift. Authors Katie White and Christopher DeLuca provide a three-stage assessment framework designed for this exact challenge. By moving away from rigid lesson plans and toward learning pivots, educators learn practical actions to engage students as active partners and adjust daily learning goals with confidence.
K-12 teachers can use this book to:
- Develop reflective practices that enhance instructional decisions based on assessment evidence
- Empower students through deeper, richer involvement in the assessment process and shared decision making
- Transform traditional assessment practices into collaborative learning experiences
- Foster classrooms that promote student agency and engagement
- Support diverse learners effectively by using assessment data
