Publisher's Synopsis
"This book is a supporting resource used in the Writing Units of Study series, grades 3-5. The book begins with an overview of assessing writing, with a particular focus on third grade through fifth grade. Although second- and sixth-grade tools and exemplars are included, this book is designed for 3-5 teachers. Second grade is included to support students who are writing below benchmark levels. Sixth grade is present to provide fifth-grade teachers and students with a ceiling. We'll overview ways to collect assessment data, suggest ways to analyze those assessments with colleagues, and encourage you to teach responsively based on the data you gather"--.
