Teacher Created Resources provides clear and effective resources for formative assessments in all subject areas. At the beginning of each book, the author presents the rationale behind formative assessment, an explanation of the role of formative assessment in the Common Core Standards, and a fantastic overview of effective ways to use formative assessment. Then each book provides specific resources for formative assessments that can be used in all subject areas. The resources are presented in five sections: 1) The pre-teaching assessment activities help teachers know where a class is as a whole, so they know where to begin teaching. The activities also let the teachers know who might need extra help and who might be ready for advanced work. 2) Graphic organizers allow students to express what they already know, so teachers can create effective lesson plans to help students progress in their learning. 3) Written responses during the course of study help teachers gather information about each student's progress. 4) Collaborative reflections work with both small and large groups. They promote the critical thinking, reasoning, and presentation of ideas required by Common Core Standards. 5) Technology and interactive assessments add another dimension to learning and help fulfill requirements of the Common Core Standards. The results? Differentiated instruction. Proactive students. Achieved Common Core Standards. Each 80-page book comes with a CD and is available now for $14.99.
