Failing Sideways: Queer Possibilities for Writing Assessment
Autor Stephanie West-Puckett, Nicole I. Caswell, William P. Banksen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2023 – vârsta ani
A failure-oriented assessment model unsettles some of the most common practices, like rubrics and portfolios, and challenges many deeply held assumptions about validity and reliability in order to ask what could happen if assessment was oriented toward possibility and potential. Working to engage a more capacious writing construct, the authors propose queer validity inquiry (QVI) as a model for assessment that values failure, affect, identity, and materiality. These overlapping lenses help teachers honor parts of writing and learning that writing studies faculty have struggled to hold onto in a world overly focused on quickness and efficiency in schools.
Through programmatic and classroom examples, Failing Sideways privileges what is valued in the classroom but traditionally ignored in assessments. Reimagining what matters in the teaching and learning of writing and using assessment data differently, this book demonstrates what writing can be and could do in a more diverse and just world.

Recenzii
“We now have a book of innovative approaches that can occur when students are placed at the center of all we know and do. Filled with intelligence, compassion, humor, and moral value, Failing Sideways is a landmark book that will influence those within and beyond writing studies, a book that will give readers joy and hope.”
—Norbert Elliot, New Jersey Institute of Technology
“Failing Sideways quite beautifully queers writing studies assessment research of the last fifty-plus years. This book will quickly shift entire disciplinary conversations by offering queer, sideways, and affective alternatives to normative assessment structures.”
