Why Formative Assessment?

• Starting at the End• Student Learning Expectations—what do

they look like, how can we measure?• Building capacity to adjust instruction

based on student performance data



Common Core as a Guide

and proficiently and express that understanding clearly through writing

and speaking about text.

Main Goal of the CCSS for ELA/Literacy



ELA/Literacy: 3 shifts

1. Building knowledge through content-rich nonfiction and informational text

2. Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text

3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic vocabulary
