Creating an Assessment Plan
The course provides guidelines for developing an assessment plan to effectively implement a multi-tiered system of supports (MTSS). This course includes strategies for effectively using assessment data to support student success.
This course is designed for leaders, including campus and district administrators, as well as ESC staff supporting school leaders; however, all learners are welcome.
In this course, leaders learn about key elements of creating an assessment plan. Throughout the course, leaders reflect on and outline the assessment practices in their campus or district in each of these areas:
- Selecting research-based assessments
- Training and support in assessment administration
- Creating an assessment calendar
- Managing the data
- Using the data at the campus level
- Supporting teachers using the data
This course is approved for 4 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours. Assessments of learner achievement of the objectives will include reflection/application activities, knowledge checks, and wrap-up questions. You will complete one lesson module at a time.
Coaching Support Included
This training includes a coaching component delivered by experts at each regional education service center to help educators apply what they’ve learned with confidence and fidelity. Coaching provides personalized, job‑embedded support grounded in four research‑based practices proven to strengthen instruction: alliance-building, observation, modeling, and performance feedback.
Educators and coaches complete a three‑step coaching cycle—pre‑observation, observation, and performance feedback—to reinforce training content and improve implementation. Coaching is designed to fit flexibly into your existing schedule and enhance your work, not add to it.
