Mathematics Assessment and Intervention in a PLC at Work™
Harness the power of formative assessment processes within an RTI model (MTSS) to inspire student learning in mathematics. This user-friendly resource is divided into two parts, each covering a key team action for mathematics in a PLC at Work™. First you’ll learn how to develop high-quality common assessments. Then discover how to use the mathematics assessments for formative student learning and intervention. The book features unit samples for learning standards, sample unit exams, student performance trackers, and more.
Benefits
- Explore an assessment model for writing quality common assessments.
- Utilize RTI Tier 2 intervention strategies for effectively responding to student learning.
