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.
