Amplify Learner Voice through Culturally Responsive and Sustaining Assessment

by Paul J Bloomberg, Marisol Rerucha (Foreword), Marion Wilson (Foreword)

Amplify Learner Voice pushes back against traditional assessment and grading practices that continue to be an inequitable endeavor for our nation’s learners; traditional classroom practices continue to sort and label students by characterizing them by "what they need to work on" or ‘lack.'In this book, eight authors and The Core Collaborative’s partner schools reimagine formative assessment through an asset-based, cultural lens to make a greater impact on learning and our shared humanity.Presented in an easy-to-read, practical format, with video examples and practical resources throughout , the ‘ Amplify Learner Voice Formative Assessment Framework ’ identifies and integrates seven culturally responsive and sustaining concepts to shift how educators and learners engage in core formative assessment practices that cultivate conditions where all stakeholders thrive.
