Student Oriented Curriculum

From what I gather, this book fosuced on assessment and curriculum. There were some really neat ideas about having students create portfolios and have student lead conferences. I like this idea a lot and I think that it is important that students are able to take on more of this responsibility as they grow and mature into young adults. I know that in higher grade levels of my education students started to maek their own portfolios. It was cool as students would know as soon as they got a piece of work back whether they were going to use it in their portfolios or not. It was also a really good way for us to gauge our understanding and mastery of material.
