Highlight My Strengths
Assessment and Evaluation of Literacy Learning

By Leanna TraillTM

"Whaka paohotia oku painga
kia ngaro oku ngoikoretanga"

"Highlight my strengths
and my weaknesses will disappear"
NZ Maori saying

This book is really about valuing children and trusting every child as a learner. It presents a view of evaluation of literacy acquisition as a whole pervasive and persuasive process within educational practice, one that is rooted in value and worth, founded on sound knowledge and theory of natural learning and responsive to the goal of literacy for all of today's children in tomorrow's world.

Highlight My Strengths is a practical teacher-friendly resource with clear guidelines for integrating research based effective assessment practices into classroom programs in action. It presents a philosophical framework for building a schoolwide approach towards assessment and evaluation. It defines and states beliefs and purposes for assessment and evaluation and lists key record keeping procedures for building instructionally informative cumulative learning profiles for individual children. The recording forms, mainly suited to primary classrooms, are photocopiable.
