I finished the interative reading survey, and I was impressed at the setup and detail. I would love to have the opportunity to set a quiz up like it as the self-correction was awesome.
I consider myself to have more of a learner-centered classroom, and this did turn out to be the case after I answered the questions concerning my classroom.
My biggest ideas are as follows and all are in learner-centered classrooms.
Teaching and assessing are intertwined.
The instructor's role is to coach and facilitate. The instructor and the students evaluate the learning together. Assessment is being used to promote and diagnose learning.
Emphasis is on generating better questions and learning from errors.
Instructors and students learn together.
The problem with most school systems is that the assessment system is set up as a teacher-directed situation. Things are slowly changing, but it has taken a lot of time.
Thanks,

Meghan,
Yes, the key word in your post is slooooooooowly, oh so slowly. I've been waiting for change since I was 21 years old...and that was a long time ago and sorry to say some things have changed but most have not.
Glad to see that you are one of the teachers who will help change (and student-centered learning) happen much, much more quickly now.
