Trevor’s next publication is set to be released in May. From the back of the book:
“How can we help students see themselves in a more positive, confident and personally fulfilling light? How can we cultivate the conditions for agency and equity in our classrooms and schools so all learners can thrive? How can we begin to shift education so that our students become more empowered, more competent, and more compassionate young people? Trevor MacKenzie returns with another deep dive into inquiry as he examines the role of assessment in education through the lens of co-designing and co-constructing with students. In Inquiry Mindset Assessment Edition MacKenzie outlines a series of beliefs, values, and frameworks that allow all teachers to scaffold towards an assessment reality that is infused with student voice, understanding, and autonomy.
In this book you’ll discover ways to:
Co-design assessment with your students that creates a sense of ownership over learning and belonging in the classroom.
Create greater clarity and a deeper understanding for your students in how they’ll be assessed.
Positively impact achievement, grades, and marks as well as positively impact your student’s sense of self, their place in the world, and their control over their lives.
Take your inquiry practice and student agency further in your classroom, school, and district by giving your learners an authentic seat at the assessment table!”
From Trevor:
”The past two months have been a whirlwind. There are so many things that go into getting a book to print. When the manuscript enters the editing stage I was able to take a few deep breaths and enjoy the satisfaction of reaching this point. But this lull in the efforts was short lived. Designing the cover, layout, and design of the book - all such exciting steps - as well as sharing early review copies with endorsers and trusted friends have kept the momentum and focus going.
My newsletter pals are a part of some pretty special things. I am emailing them every few weeks with sneak peeks of the book and asking them to help make decisions that I am facing in this process. The response has been overwhelmingly amazing and helpful.
Currently endorsements are coming in and the draft is in the final editing round before I see the layout and design in the next few weeks. I am greatly looking forward to sharing this work with you all!”
There will be no pre-order process with this next publication. Stay tuned here and on Trevor’s social media for updates on release. For bulk discounts please connect with Trevor on the contact page.
