Mathematics Assessment and Intervention in a PLC at Work(tm)

Part of the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series

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(TM). 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.

Improve your math assessment methods using RTI Tier 2 interventions and PLC processes as a guide:

Explore an assessment model for writing quality common assessments. Utilize RTI Tier 2 intervention strategies for effectively responding to student learning. Make sense of the grade-level content standards and corresponding tasks. Learn how to write quality common unit assessments and score them accurately. Determine how students can reflect and set performance goals using common unit assessment results. Develop a Tier 2 RTI math intervention program to support student learning.
