Measuring Human Return Summary

Measuring Human Return: Understand and Assess What Really Matters for Deeper Learning by Joanne J. McEachen

Measure what matters for deeper learning

Getting at the heart of what matters for students is key to deeper learning that connects with their lives, but what good is knowing what matters without also understanding how to bring it to life? What does it really take to know who students are, what they are truly learning, and why?

Measuring Human Return solves this dilemma with a comprehensive, systematic process for measuring deeper learning outcomes. Educators will learn to assess students' self-understanding, knowledge, competencies, and connections through vignettes, case studies, learning experiences and tools. The book helps readers:

Develop key system capabilities to build the foundation for sustainable engagement, measurement, and change
Discover five comprehensive frames for measuring deeper learning
Engage in the process of collaborative inquiry
Commit to the central, active role of learners by engaging them as partners in every aspect of their learning

Discover how to take an authentic, formative, and inquiry-driven approach to measuring the outcomes that drive deeper learning.

The book really hits the mark. The best thing about it is the in-depth discussion of systems. It is with great pleasure that I read and re-read this book. It delivers a good combination of big vision with specific strategies and techniques.

The vast experience and knowledge of the authors in major international educational reform efforts is a major strength of this book. As is the focus on Deep Learning as both a framework for organizational change and for the education of humanity. One of the unique themes this book offers is its emphasis on making education human and focusing on return in order to improve society.

-- Karen L. Tichy, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership; Saint Louis University; St. Louis, MO

Self-understanding and self-regulation are foundational skills to support autonomous learners and are fundamental for working in socially embedded environments in the real world or online. This comprehensive book provides insights, tools, and strategies for deeper, healthier, learning systems.

-- Mark Sparvell, Senior Manager; Microsoft

This book is a guide for all teachers, principals, and stakeholders in education who are aware that learning should be deep and contribute to humanity. It nails down what learning should be about with structured examples, exercises, and tools that, when applied, will lead to deeper learning for everyone.

-- Baukje Bemener, Research Consultant, NPDL New Measures Leader;

Measuring Human Return is a great summary of the work that is being done in our region with schools that have embraced Deeper Learning. When school systems have the support to embrace systemic change and teachers have the support to design deeper learning experiences for their students, everyone succeeds. Our classrooms need this support so that our students gain the necessary global competencies that will prepare them for the world today and tomorrow. This is the work we all need to embrace in our schools.

-- Pam Estvold, Assistant Superintendent, Teaching and Learning;
