Mindful Assessment

“The authors have provided a much needed guidebook for assessing some of the most important fluencies that lead to deeper learning.”

“The crucial new skills and mindsets that learners need to flourish in 21st century life are clearly explained in this book. Crockett and Churches not only describe fluencies and explain their importance but also provide examples of assessment rubrics which will enable teachers to implement these fluencies in the classroom. This book will inspire and challenge teachers.”

“Crockett and Churches break down the four walls of the traditional schoolhouse and open up the world to teacher and student by creating global citizens. The project ideas contained throughout the book would make the cost worth it alone but add to that the comprehensive rubrics the authors include and the ways to create critical thinkers. They show step by step how to create life-long learners.”
