Redesigning Your District’s Common Assessments

Districts frequently rely on teacher volunteers or software generated assessments to create their common grade assessments. This process often leads to assessments that do not match well with the types of problems students will be asked to solve during their state assessments. We will help you redesign your district’s assessments so that they are not only aligned with the state assessments in terms of content, level of difficulty, type of representation, likely error responses and format, but also that the key strategies you want your students to use during the state assessment are scaffolded into your overall program.
