The author defines growth-centered assessment as "assessment that identifies students' potential and possibilities and provides diverse opportunities and assistance to realize them, thereby helping all students grow."
This requires a purposeful effort to ensure that all students reach their goals through systematic assistance through loving observation and feedback from teachers, as well as opportunities for re-challenge. This process must be systematized through a rubric.
This book presents a plan to develop a rubric that encompasses 'feedback', 're-challenge', and 'growth-centered evaluation' as concrete ways to implement them.
