How the Common Core is Changing AssessmentThe Common Core places a big emphasis on formative rather than summative data. That means teachers need to evaluate student data, make adjustments based on real needs, be prepared for early intervention and provide progress monitoring. In this WATcast, George Rislov from Compass Learning shares strategies for integrating this assessment into daily instruction as well as preparing students for standardized exams.
