This do-it-yourself resource, dealing with one of teaching's most vexing aspects, will help teachers, teams, or an entire faculty develop ways more effective than grades to assess student progress. The kit contains all materials and activities needed for carrying out an engaging and thorough professional development experience. Tasks lead users to reassess current practices, consider and experiment with alternative approaches, and initiate portfolios to help students become responsible for their own learning.
