Module 1: Aligning Assessment to Standards Back to "Professional Development Sessions"   In Module 1, participants analyze the mathematical content of an assessment item to identify which standard(s) it addresses or assesses. They then modify the item to be more tightly aligned with the identified standard(s).   Discussions focus on, What mathematical thinking would our students use on the assessment? and Are we assessing what we think we are assessing? As a result of engaging in Module 1, participants will: become familiar with a given set of standards, discuss interpretations of those standards, develop a "critical eye" for selecting or developing assessment items, and learn how to align assessment to standards.  Back Next
