I must confess that when I was I the classroom, I was indeed constantly looking for evidence of learning or problems and assessing my students but can see ways of including them in the assessing now that I didn’t know about then. So for me, including them in powerful ways in the assessing or even turning it over to them is what is different now: making it visible and allowing them to take the responsibility for it. Mary I finally read this EFF report. I agree with the focus on embedding assessment in instruction. I think many teachers do this in an informal way. EFF is giving us a "formal" way to do this. I understand Mary Schneckenburger's question about where the components of performance are in the assessment piece. The way I understand is that since the students are using all the COPs in the learning activity, the "product" of the activity which will probably be used to document the range, fluency and independence of the students is the result of the students using all the COPs. (I really had a hard time getting that thought into words). Does this make sense or am I waaay off base? Dianna B.
