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

Develop a research-based math intervention program with common unit assessments. Increase student learning using the MTSS or response to intervention model to guide mathematics assessment.

Benefits

  • Learn the criteria for the formative use of all unit-by-unit common mathematics assessments
  • Identify essential learning standards as drivers for common assessments and student reflection
  • Design and use high-quality common assessments and team scoring agreements
  • Calibrate the scoring of student work for consistent formative feedback to students
  • Engage in data protocols that analyze student work to enhance instructional practices, identify students in need of targeted intervention or extension, and create effective intervention learning experiences
  • Determine how students can reflect and set goals using the formative feedback process based on common unit-by-unit assessments
  • Design and implement an effective Tier 2 mathematics intervention program to support student learning
