Common Core Assessment Workbooks

One of the teachers in my building came across a free giveaway!  Of course we love free, but even better when it focuses on Common Core State Standards and Assessment. The resource comes in the format of Common Core Assessment Workbooks. What I really liked about the resource is that it included and assessment for each standard of Math and ELA. There was also a variety of assessment types. Some of the assessment were actually for the teacher to complete. For example, there was an assessment for CCSS RL.K.1 which focuses on students actively engaging in group reading actives with purpose and understanding. So as the teacher works with a group of students she can quickly complete this performance task sheet that is simple to use and keep anecdotal notes on. The assessment are easy to follow. I chose to review the Kindergarten assessments and they are very student friendly. Many assessments "say" CCSS but I feel that this assessment is very usable and both teacher and student friendly. Check it out! This resource is definitely worth taking the time to review. As a member of my district's math development team and ELA development team, it has been interesting looking at the assessments and assessment verbiage of the workbook.
