Consortium:
Assessment Systems for the Middle School Reading Units of Study

Join a “think tank” of literacy leaders collaborating to develop assessment systems that are both standards-aligned and responsive. Participants will learn strategies and co-create tools to support middle school teams building formative and summative assessment systems to accompany the TCRWP Middle School Reading Units of Study.  Each session will focus on a different stage of assessment development as we learn, develop, and norm our assessments together.
