"THE LEADERS IN STUDENT-LEAD ASSESSMENT: Leaders of Their Own Learning established a niche in the field of books on assessment. It struck a chord with teachers and leaders looking for a way to engage their students in the assessment process. The popularity of the book and professional development offerings based on strategies in the book made EL Education a leader in the field of student-engaged assessment. AUTHOR PROMOTION AND PURCHASE: The authors work with approximately 5,000 teachers in 152 K--12 EL Education network schools across the United States, and 40,000 more in schools and districts that are using our K--8 English Language Arts curriculum. All of these teachers employ student-engaged assessment practices, which are built into the instructional model used in EL Education network schools and curriculum. The authors purchase a minimum of 1,000 copies of Leaders of Their Own Learning each year and will do the same for the Companion. ONLINE RESOURCES: The authors will create additional downloadable resources and videos to be available for readers online to enhance their learning experience"-- Provided by publisher.
