[MOSAIC] Test Talk

[thedorrs at comcast.net]

I'd be interested in this too...I FULLY plan on putting this in place next year in my classroom. I didn't read the book until our testing had already started. I just love that it's so easy to weave it into my already existing workshop!!! I think this book is a MUST read for anyone who is in a testing year. It just so totally makes sense. I feel fortunate to have been on the review team. I'll post more later, but I forgot my book at school :(
