What is your target?

"Students can hit any target they can see and which stands still for them." 

Rick Stiggins, Educator and assessment expert 

This past week the Assessment teams convened to create the "target that beckons".  Teams reviewed the Draft Performance Level Descriptors and the Evidence Statement tables from PARCC to ensure that our 9th and 10th grade courses are aligned to the expectation of the upcoming exams.  Algebra 1-2, Algebra 1-2 Honors, Geometry 1-2 and Geometry 1-2 Honors created Question-Based Assessment on D2SC that are aligned to the Common Core blueprints.  Click on the course name to view the blueprints.

Algebra1     Algebra2    Algebra1H   Algebra2H (Algebra 2H will be done in the fall)
Geometry1   Geometry2  Geometry1H  Geometry2H (Geometry 2 and Honors will be done soon)
