¶ … construction of created rubrics of checklists of goals have become increasingly popular as a way of rending the educational process more effective and efficient. Student-directed assessment involves students actively in the process of assessment and achieves the dual goal of student empowerment as well as ensures that real learning has taken place. "Constructing or drawing up rubrics jointly with students prior to them undertaking the related lesson or task provides an even richer, more authentic, learner-centered and empowering authentic assessment experience than merely providing them with a teacher-designed rubric" the latter of which may not be meaningful to them (Litz 2007). This is often called "negotiable contracting" and reflects the belief that "students who are given a role in the assessment process and provided with the appropriate direction by their teachers are able to accurately evaluate their strengths and weaknesses and better pinpoint areas where they need to focus their efforts for improvement"(Litz 2007). It is often said that the best way to truly learn something is to teach it and student-directed assessment actively involves the student in the process of instruction and curriculum construction.

Q2. Student assessment is ideally part of the 'conversation' teachers have with their students. Assessment tells teachers what students know. This is why formative as well as summative assessments are required. Formative assessments provide feedback to teachers for lesson planning and future assignments. These take the form of quizzes, short answers, discussions and group projects and other ways of determining how much material students are absorbing. Summative assessments which assess the overall state of student knowledge after a lesson are also necessary but the focus should not exclusively be on summative assessments. Unfortunately, in the era of No Child Left Behind, the emphasis has been on summative means of evaluating knowledge. "The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning… The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark" (What is the difference between formative and…

Military Ops Military-Led Reconstruction and Fiedler's Contingency Theory In light of the unfolding instability, violence and difficulty that characterized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States military must reexamine its approach to the strategic invasion, occupation, reconstruction and power-handover that have evolved into a war-making template for the nation. Accordingly, the research conducted hereafter considers the need for a change in leadership orientation, using Fiedler's Contingency Theory as the lens
More importantly, our appreciative and participatory stance with our co-researchers has allowed us to witness and learn about the cutting edge of leadership work in such a way that is and feels qualitatively different from other research traditions we have used in the past, because it is built on valuing. Even though it is challenging at times (Ospina et al. 2002), our inquiry space is enhanced by our collaboration
Al., 2010). Nursing and the ER The Emergency Room is often one of the most visible parts of healthcare for political debate. It is also one of the most difficult environments for a modern nurse. It is interesting that one of the founders of modern nursing had emergency experience prior to developing her overall theories. Nightingale also looked at negatives and positives that are the conditions, which could help make people recover
Now, turn to Arizona Green Tea with Ginseng. The packaging for the single serving uses the label that is mint green with an oriental flavor, suggesting the benefits of Zen and the addition of ginseng and honey.
