The Power of Common Assessments
One of the most powerful, high-leverage strategies for
improving student learning available to schools is the
creation of frequent, common, high-quality assessments
by teachers who are working collaboratively to help a
group of students develop agreed-upon knowledge and
skills (Fullan, Stiggins, 2005). Such assessments serve a
distinctly different purpose than the state tests that have
become the norm in North America.

“Great schools “row as one”; they are quite clearly in the
same boat, pulling in the same direction in unison. The
best schools are tightly aligned communities marked by a
palpable sense of common purpose and shared identity
among staff- a clear sense of “we.” By contrast,
struggling schools feel fractured; there is a sense that
people work in the same school but not toward the same
goals.”

Review of Enduring Skills and Assessment Data
Looking through the big picture data that is available, rate your current
students on those enduring skills to share with next year’s teacher.
When possible use data to support your ratings and share any related
anecdotal information that could be useful for these teachers to know.
