Built on the process featured in Common Formative Assessment: A Toolkit for PLCs at Work(TM), this book demonstrates how educators can develop effective and efficient assessments.

Design tasks and assessments that feature the greater rigor and complexity the new standards require. Use assessment data to make adjustments that increase student learning. Explore possible team structures and practices that foster successful use of common assessments.
