In this timely and thoughtful call to action, author and educator
Starr Sackstein examines the critical intersection between
assessment and social and emotional learning (SEL), particularly as
it affects students of color and other marginalized groups. The
book addresses the five SEL competencies identified by the
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning
(CASEL)-self-awareness, self-management, social awareness,
relationship skills, and responsible decision making-and explains
how teaching students to develop their abilities in these areas can
help them improve their learning and assessment
experiences.Sackstein also raises important considerations for
educators, urging them to * Examine their implicit biases to
improve their relationships with students. * Deepen their
understanding of the impact of grades and assessments on students'
self-image and their ability to reach their full potential as
learners. * Develop personalized assessment systems that ensure an
accurate, fair, and equitable portrayal of what students know and
can do. In addition to presenting the relevant research, Sackstein
draws from personal experience and the reflections of students,
teachers, and administrators to present a compelling case for
approaching assessment through the SEL lens. Educators at all
levels who have witnessed the devasting effects that testing can
have on students' beliefs in themselves as learners will find
Assessing with Respect to be an invaluable guide to ensuring better
outcomes-and better emotional health-for all students.
In Peer Feedback in the Classroom, National Board Certified Teacher
Starr Sackstein explores the powerful role peer feedback can play
in learning and teaching. Peer feedback gives students control over
their learning, increases their engagement and self-awareness as
learners, and frees up the teacher to provide targeted support
where it's needed. Drawing from the author's successful classroom
practices, this compelling book will help you: Gain a deeper
understanding of what meaningful feedback looks like and how it can
be used as a tool for learning. Establish a respectful, student-led
learning environment that supports risk taking and honest sharing.
Teach students to be adept peer strategists who can pinpoint areas
of needed growth and move forward with specific strategies for
improvement. Develop cooperative student expert groups to help
sustain effective peer feedback throughout the year. Use technology
to enhance collaboration, streamline the learning and revision
process, and strengthen students' digital citizenship skills. The
book also includes extended reflections that express, in students'
and teachers' own words, the approach's powerful effect on their
practice. Invite students to be your partners in learning, and
enrich your collective classroom experience.
Teaching and learning cannot happen without questions. Inquiry is
the offspring of curiosity and creativity. Questions are incredibly
powerful tools that open the world up. In the age of Google, the
way we teach needs to change and students need to be reconnected
with their early childhood curiosity. Let's put that control back
into kids' hands by teaching them to question better. The Power of
Questioning will help you to make students partners in their own
learning.

Mishaps that resulted in tears and a constant questioning of my
choice to switch careers are the short story of my earliest
teaching memories. Fortunately, looking back, I can laugh at the
many foibles of that experience - It's with love that I invite you
new or older teaching professionals to embrace this miraculous
journey. This book will help ease the growing pains of being a
teacher offering professional reflection and connection. You are
not alone!
