In a series of resources, the Center on Standards & Assessment Implementation (CSAI) provides lesson plans to help build teacher capacity through formative assessment.

The middle school lesson plans address the content areas of English language arts, history, science, and mathematics. CSAI encourages teachers to adapt these materials for use in their own contexts.

Visit the Model Lesson Plans to Build Teacher Capacity in Promoting Deeper Learning Through Formative Assessment web page.

CSAI provides state education agencies (SEAs) and Regional Comprehensive Centers (RCCs) with research support, technical assistance, tools, and other resources to help inform decisions about standards, assessment, and accountability. Visit the CSAI website for more information.
