This DVD engages educators in reflection and discussion around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Drawing on commentary from administrators, teachers, and students, educators explore high quality formative and summative assessment, as well as how it has improved student achievement and learning.

Scenes from actual classroom lessons anchor the reflections. Teachers describe their changes in educational practice & philosophy; students discuss how these changes have affected their identity as individuals and as learners.

Includes a faciltator's guide, with material to help contextualize and lead study groups.
