How do you translate assessment data and evidence of student learning into measurable next steps? Our professional development team can help you. You’ll benefit from a well-developed plan. See a sample of a program we collaboratively built with a client.

Because every journey takes its own twists and turns, we create checkpoints to ensure that your goals are met. 

We’ll introduce you to research-based strategies that will get you excited about embedding new practices and tools in your classrooms. We focus on one or more of these core competencies: 

• Standards-based Instruction: Create a learning environment that aligns instruction to standards and assessment.
• Assessment Literacy: Gain fluency in the understanding and use of assessment.
• Comprehensive Assessment: Build a holistic assessment system using all the right tools and practices.
• Examining Student Work: Use a process to establish and maintain consistent criteria for quality student work across grade levels.
• Formative Assessment: Translate assessment theory into great instructional practice by using proven techniques to adjust ongoing teaching and learning.
• Using Data: Draw from multiple data sources to guide instructional improvement.

You can apply these competencies across all content areas and grade levels.

I’m passionate about engaging educators in an assessment journey that will transform their teaching practices. I want to help your team experience the same gains in student achievement that I experienced through the use of formative assessment.
