Mathematics Assessment and Intervention in a PLC at Work®, Second Edition

“Improving student achievement in mathematics is not achieved through having textbook fidelity, purchasing supplemental intervention programs, or hiring additional staff. What it takes is deep commitment to the collaborative assessment and intervention practices and processes that are proven to accelerate both student and adult learning. The authors of this outstanding resource break down, step by step, exactly how to ensure every student learns the rigorous mathematical thinking needed for their future.”

“The authors offer practical guidance to dedicated mathematics teacher teams who want to stretch their mindset about assessment and grow their assessment practices. This book provides tools for reflection, discussion, and action to uplift assessment products and processes to ensure that every student can and does learn mathematics.”

“Clarity + processes = empowerment. This is the equation teams will experience with this guide that provides teams with everything they need to refine their assessment and intervention practices. The authors provide practical, real-life examples that demonstrate how the processes are applied across a variety of grade levels. I see this as a go-to tool for every mathematics team!”

“Mathematics Assessment and Intervention in a PLC at Work is a must-have resource for educators. It is an in-depth, comprehensive tool for mathematics teachers, curriculum specialists, and administrators. Not only is this book organized in an accessible and engaging manner, but its practical applications and resources set it apart. Each chapter includes reflection opportunities, sample assessment tools and activities, as well as other resources crucial to implementing this work and improving student learning. The authors of this book are not only experts in the field of mathematics, but also practitioners, well versed in good instruction.”

“Professional Learning Communities at Work is the best promise for equity in education, but we can't just say we are ‘doing PLCs’; we have to actually do the work. This book will surely become the go-to resource for your mathematics teachers when it comes to creating common assessments aligned to essential standards, analyzing those assessments, and providing targeted interventions that address students’ knowledge gaps.”
