Authentic, Formative, and Benchmark Assessment
We know when we’ve taught it, but how do we truly know if the students “got it?” Curriculum Specialist, Shelby Waller, offers trainings at Region 9 and on-site at your district or campus in distinguishing between comprehensive benchmarks and formative assessments, as well as the unique attributes of and strategies for authentic assessment.
TAKS Student Profile Sheets
Region 9 has developed a TAKS Student Profile Sheet to help teacher teams determine which students should move into intervention and the strategies that should be addressed within the classroom as well as outside the classroom to promote success. This tool helps teachers target the specific TAKS Student Expectations that proved troublesome for individual students, thus targeting the interventions to the specific areas of need. (This tool is a perfect compliment to AEIS IT data reports as teachers use data to impact instruction.)
