Educators agree that the characteristics of self-directed learners are traits that students will need to succeed in school and in life.

Using practical examples drawn from a variety of classrooms and schools, renowned authors Arthur L.

This hands-on book provides the practical tools that educators need to implement these ideas, including: Classroom activities Sample rubrics Forms, portfolios, questions, and checklists Examples of student work Assessment Strategies for Self-Directed Learning offers a more balanced and complete evaluation method that includes classroom-based assessments that complement state-based assessments.
