classroom culture and student performance.

Once the grid is complete, reflect
on where
or students
discuss are beingthe following
What redundancies do you notice? Are there places in your system
over-assessed on the same
questions:
content/standards? Does each source of data improve your
understanding of student achievement?

Are there gaps in your system?

How would you characterize the current use of short-cycle or

formative assessments? To what extent are these types of
assessments being used to guide teachers and students about
appropriate next steps?

How would you characterize the current use of longer-cycle or

summative assessments? Is there alignment between what is
measured in long-cycle assessments and what is measured in
classroom assessments?
