Participants will learn to align appropriate and CCSS-aligned assessments beyond what is offered within the modules while maintaining fidelity and integrity.  By analyzing the design features, critical components of the modules, participants will understand how to design, embed, and align assessments that support and evaluate all learning targets. Participants will become familiar with, and eventually use in support of their own modifications, assessment tools that support assessments beyond the modules.

Course Objectives:

  • Dive deeply into the assessment features of the curriculum modules in order to seek out and embed other assessments beyond what is offered in the modules.
  • Design and/or seek out other assessment tools for module adaptation. Practice embedding newly acquired assessment tools in module lessons.
  • Analyze the assessment features of the curriculum modules in order to support expectations of NYS standardized assessments, progress monitoring, and other curriculum benchmarks.
