Accounts From Teachers
The Belted Kingfisher is a common waterside resident in British Columbia. It is often seen hovering above, peering down and examining its target before plunging headfirst into the water. The Kingfisher Series is sponsored by the group of educators who have gathered annually since 2000 for a week of intense learning and reflection, using assessment for learning practices. These lead learners come together to rise above and reflect on their work, to survey the challenges they face in their daily practice, and to focus on their goal of more effectively supporting learners. Then they leave to plunge, once again, into their chosen work. You are invited to peer through the eyes of high school educators and take the plunge into assessment for learning In this updated second edition book, renowned leaders in the field of classroom assessment, Anne Davies and Sandra Herbst, and researcher and writer Kathy Busick, have gathered the wisdom and expertise of fifteen educators from Canada and the United States.

This book will benefit teachers, teacher-leaders, principals, and district administrators in their daily work, giving them the understanding and confidence to carry out quality classroom assessment that will create and support successful lifelong learners.
