Improve student achievement on daily assignments, unit assessments, and standardized tests!

This book clearly defines performance-based assessments (PBAs) and walks teachers and administrators through the vocabulary, concepts, and practices for conducting an assessment process that is fully integrated with the daily curriculum and can produce significantly improved student performance. The author provides a template for recording assessment data, demonstrates how to create rubrics for teacher/student use, and offers standards-based examples featuring classroom teachers' insights. Readers will discover how to use PBAs to implement:
