The authors share classroom vignettes, strategies, and resources for "going public" with literacy assessment through teacher collaboration with colleagues, with families, and with the community.
Teachers want assessment tools and strategies that inform instruction, engage students in the process, and invite families and community members to enter into the conversation about student learning and progress. When teachers work collaboratively with one another, they align beliefs and practices to generate new ideas that reflect the questions they are asking about literacy and learning. When students, families, and the community are invited to be active, engaged participants in these discussions, all stakeholders have an opportunity to create a shared vision for literacy learning and to construct assessment tools and strategies that help everyone answer the important questions: "How as teachers are we engaging with one another over our literacy assessment beliefs and practices?" and "How can we better bring families and communities into these conversations?"
In this volume of the Principles in Practice Literacy Assessment strand of books, veteran educators Kathryn Mitchell Pierce and Rosario Ordoñez-Jasis share classroom vignettes, strategies, and resources for "going public" with literacy assessment through teacher collaboration with colleagues, with families, and with the community. Drawing from the IRA-NCTE Standards for the Assessment of Reading and Writing, Revised Edition, and their own extensive experience, the authors have compiled a set of collaborative assessment principles, as well as a model for teacher professional development around assessment, to guide teachers from assessment theory to practical implementation in the classroom.
Teachers are at the heart of assessment conversations because they have up-close and personal experiences with how assessments impact their students. These experiences provide an invaluable perspective that is essential to all decision making about assessing student learning. But teachers don't--or shouldn't--stand alone. Their critical expertise is strengthened by the experiences and expertise of others invested in the success of our students--colleagues, families, communities, and students themselves.

About the Author
Kathryn Mitchell Pierce currently serves as an Assistant Professor of Literacy at Saint Louis University in Missouri. Previously, Kathryn spent a decade teaching at the university level before returning to teach in K-12 settings where she spent a decade teaching in the primary grades and another decade teaching and coaching in middle school. Her research interests focus on classroom talk, specifically supporting teachers and students engaged in critical conversations about literature written for children and young adults. Her publications include numerous articles, chapters, and journal columns as well as two co-edited books about literature study and Going Public with Assessment: A Community Practice Approach co-authored with Rosario Ordoñez-Jasis (NCTE, 2018).
Dr. Rosario Ordoñez-Jasis' primary scholarly interests are framed within the socio-cultural-political contexts of literacy and learning.

Dr. Rosario Ordoñez-Jasis has presented her applied research at national and international conferences, and published in journals such as Journal of Latinos and Education, Language Arts, Urban Education, Young Exceptional Children, Multicultural Perspectives, and the Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education.
