Developmental Math Assessment is for young children age 3-8 and is used to: ? Assess the important number concepts and skills needed to be successful at a grade level. ? Gain insight into how effectively teachers are teaching and students are learning. ? Improve instruction and determine plans for individual students. ? Model a framework of early number concepts. ? Monitor annual yearly progress in number concepts ? Facilitate communication between teachers and parents so parents feel more informed about their student?s strengths and needs in mathematics.

Do you have a student that is struggling in your class? Perhaps you are a resource teacher or math specialist and need a way to figure out how your student is dealing with numbers developmentally. It is important to meet these children where they are to be able to provide them instruction in their zone of proximal development (ZPD). This assessment will help you pinpoint exactly where to start working with your student and then guide you to know which experiences will be most effective in helping to fill in the gaps. A variety of worksheets and other forms are provided in this manual to make data collection and tracking easy.

Gives middle school teachers a range of tools to help monitor literacy behavior continuously as they teach, as well as conduct periodic assessments for accountability. Intended to guide teachers' ongoing observations of student's progress within a literature-based reading program.

This one-of-a-kind resource helps you build a bridge between your students’ initial ideas and correct mathematical thinking. Includes an annotated reference guide.

With the help of this essential resource, you’ll work together with your students toward a common goal of math success. "This book is outstanding. I would recommend it to any math educator. The depth of research integrated into practice is extensive and, as a result, it is the most practical book I have come across related to formative assessment and mathematics The self-regulation aspects, as well as the ownership and involvement emphasized in the book, went beyond the traditional cognitive strategies endorsed in most books." Marc Simmons, Principal Ilwaco Middle School, Ocean Beach School District, Long Beach, WA "The ideas in this book are brought to life with examples of teachers and students in the classroom. The teacher voices, comments, and quotes lend credibility and are a big component of the book’s strengths as well as the visuals and graphics."
