Level 4

Integrating Content, Performance Tasks, and Assessment in the Classroom to Support the TEKS Mathematical Process and Content Standards

This mathematics workshop is designed for participants who have a stronger understanding of performance-based assessment and instruction and the Exemplars assessment rubric. Typically, participants will have completed training sessions for Levels 1–3. The focus shifts from the classroom level to the school/district level to assure success.

Broad Agenda

  • Assess students' work to identify school/district benchmarks
  • Create and modify existing problem-solving tasks, including Preliminary Planning Sheets, for working/assessment portfolios
  • Analyze, interpret, and use assessment data to improve teaching and learning
  • Discuss meaningful feedback for students aimed at improving mathematical performance
  • Develop assessment resources at the grade, school, and/or district level
  • Use results from multiple performance assessments to improve performance at the school/district level
  • Address individual/classroom/grade-level/school/district assessment needs
  • Develop/Select formative and summative assessments at the school/district level
  • Embed performance tasks into core curriculum to support Math TEKS
