On pages 120-143 & 153-156. I'm thinking that these examples would work really well for older grades (4-6) as they are, but that they would have to be revised to be "more friendly" for the younger grades (K-3).
I love the rubric examples. I don't have to re-invent the wheel! I would use those and adapt them according to the grade I teach.
I think the Learning Contracts are a great way to make students accountable and responsible for their learning, especially for the behavior problem student.
I absolutely love the idea of the Multiple -Entry Jounaling. What a great way to assess the student's comprehension and understanding of assignments and tasks on an ongoing basis. I like that they can draw pictures and write about their learning.
I like that the book provides examples that we can copy and use in our classroom. As mentioned before, depending on the grade, I would have to modify the example, but at least I'd have a place to start from.
These examples are a great way to differentiate and tier the learning process of my students.

Great analysis of these tools... and understanding that IF you chose to try them in younger grades, you would need to modify things. Please be sure to take a look at the new things I've posted, just this past week, in the differentiation folder on Blackboard. I've added some contract and student-choice ideas that work VERY well in younger grades... kind of fun, even!
