Summary |
Why Am I Doing This? is based upon Giselle O. Martin-Kniep's work with more than one hundred teachers in the Hudson Valley Portfolio Assessment Project. Under her direction, these teachers spent three years learning about, experimenting with, and reflecting on their use of assessment and its relationship to student achievement. Martin-Kniep reveals what she learned from the program, describing key assumptions and design components that drive not only powerful assessment experiences, but also changes in teachers' practices. Then eight program participants speak for themselves. They chart their own professional odysseys, focusing on changes in their thinking and practice |
