BEYOND STANDARDIZED TRUTH

By Scott Filkins. The author brings us into his classroom and the classrooms of his colleagues to demonstrate how high school teachers across the disciplines can engage in inquiry-based reading assessment to support student learning. Filkins unpacks his own history with assessment through engaging "confessions" of his early practices and eventual growth toward a framework that situates reading assessment in an inquiry model. Based on the IRA-NCTE Standards, the book helps teachers achieve the Common Core State Standards’ goal of having students read and comprehend increasingly complex text as they move through middle and high school. Teacher resource for grades 6–12. Index. Bibliography. NCTE. 133 pages. ©2012.commoncore
