Description

Taylor and Francis Ltd Student-Centered Literacy Assessment in the 6-12 Classroom 1st Edition 2022 Softbound by Ruday, Sean

In this practical and accessible book, you'll learn how to create equitable and meaningful assessments in your instruction through an inquiry-based approach. Ruday and Caprino reimagine what asset-based literacy assessments can be and what they look like in practice by understanding that effective, asset-based literacy assessments must center on students: they must incorporate students' unique perspectives, ideas, and experiences in meaningful and relevant ways. Instead of using assessments that focus on identifying what students don't know, the practices presented in this book provide authentic opportunities for students to use what they do know to demonstrate their knowledge of important literacy concepts. _x000D__x000D_The book is organized into three easy-to-use parts that cover:_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Key concepts of asset-based assessment_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Specific ways that these practices can be put into action_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Putting it all together in your own education context._x000D__x000D_A great resource for busy teachers, this book features a guide for teachers to use during professional development book studies and ready-to-implement templates when applying the assessment practices described in the book._x000D_ _x000D_ Section One: Key Background and Context_x000D_ _x000D_ Introduction: Time to Reimagine Literacy Assessment _x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter One: Key Principles of Asset-Based Literacy Assessment _x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Two: Why Should We Adopt an Asset-Based Approach to Literacy Assessment?_x000D_ _x000D_ Section Two: Asset-Based Literacy Assessment Practices_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Three: Asset-Based Literature Assessment--Moving Away from Quizzes and Toward Authentic Engagement with Relevant Issues_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Four: Asset-Based Writing Assessment--Exploring Societal Change, Multimodal Expression, and Linguistic Diversity_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Five: Asset-Based Language Assessment--Using Inquiry and Authentic Application to Engage with Grammar, Vocabulary, and Language_x000D_ _x000D_ Section Three: Putting it Together_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Six: How to Make a Case for Asset-Based Literacy Assessment_x000D_ _x000D_ Chapter Seven: Key Recommendations for Implementation_x000D_ _x000D_ Appendix A: A Guide for Book Studies_x000D_ _x000D_ Appendix B: Reproducible Forms and Templates_x000D_ _x000D_ References_x000D_
