Balanced Assessment is ideal for teachers who are moving toward more authentic assessments but are reluctant to completely abandon more traditional models.

Author Robin Fogarty also provides several in-depth strategies and activity suggestions that can be used in any classroom to tap into the full range of students′ potential. |
