Completed Assessment Inventory

This resource provides a completed example of the Assessment Inventory Template for a school from our early implementer group. These use notes are not intended to be an evaluation of this assessment, but are intended to share how one system thought about their use of this specific assessment.

Agenda for Assessment Study

This resource is an agenda for studying the assessments within the curriculum to make decisions about how to effectively utilize the curriculum-embedded assessments in alignment with overall assessment vision.

Implementation Plan

This resource is a template for keeping track of all of the projects and tasks that your team will take on during implementation. Before the work plan, there is space for recording major decisions and notes relevant to your work plan from across Phase I and Phase II: vision, core beliefs, goals, communications, roles and responsibilities, and decision-making process. This is meant to be a “one-stop shop,” but the format may not be right for your team. Modify as needed – add or delete sections, adjust tables and rows, or separate into multiple templates.
