Description
Creating benchmark assessments should be one of the most important parts of the curriculum, but it often gets put on the back-burner. This product will help your school or district organize Benchmark Development Sessions that will have your benchmarks being made with intention and to align to the pacing guide and rigor of the standards. It’s great for administrators, instructional coaches, or teacher-leaders.

This product will help your teachers plan and develop assessments that meet those expectations.
