12. Leadership for the Common Core in Mathematics, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 2013-2014 Homework from November Choose one or two of the ideas below to imbed into your classroom practice for your unit in November. Reflect on how you structured the assessment ideas and how it impacted student learning. Be prepared to share this in December. (Approx. 2-3 paragraphs) Assessment for Learning Using Assessment Blueprints Differentiate subsequent instruction after giving a quiz or test, by grouping students according to which learning targets they had trouble with. Share the blueprint with students at the outset to make the learning targets clearer. Share the blueprint with the students and ask them to identify where each day’s instruction fits. Share the blueprint with students and have them write practice test questions periodically for each cell, as a form of focused review.
