Everyday Assessment in the Science Classroom

Atkin (science education, Stanford University) and Coffey, a postdoctoral researcher in science education at Stanford University, collect 10 essays on the theories behind the latest assessment techniques used in science classrooms. Contributors offer suggestions for conducting assessments as a matter of classroom routine and for drawing students into discussions about learning, establishing criteria, and conducting self-assessments.
