This book goes back to the basic purpose of assessment to show teachers what your students know and are able to do. The 22 activities in this book will help your students become active, engaged, responsible, and caring learners. This "how to" book is filled with activities which will enable you to keep your students active and engaged, facilitate cooperative group projects without losing control, raise academic achievement, apply multiple intelligences in your classroom, and teach your students how to think.
