Reinventing Crediting for Competency-Based Education

Reviews / Votes

"Both thoughtful and practical, this is the only book I know that addresses the need to measure what we value when assessing student schoolwork. Capturing important exemplars and some of the leading work already underway, this study offers a roadmap for your own journey into this work. Jonathan E. Martin is an expert not only in the theory and promise of competency-based assessment but also what it takes to implement it in a meaningful and sustainable way."

-Julie M. Wilson, Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for the Future of Learning and author of The Human Side of Changing Education

"Jonathan Martin's experiences in the realm of learning are extensive and varied, including being a classroom teacher, leader of multiple schools, think tank researcher, published writer, prolific blogger, and consultant to numerous schools and national educational organizations-an academic polymath if there ever was one. He possesses an extraordinary ability to distill and synthesize information from disparate sources and cohere them into unique and compelling insights, and this does him good stead in weaving his way through this tangled educational thicket."

-Kevin Mattingly, Director of Co-Curriculum at Riverdale Country School and Adjunct Associate Professor in the Klingenstein Center at Teachers College, Columbia University, USA, from the Foreword
