Purposeful Writing Assessment (Maupin House)

Progress monitoring and Response to Intervention (RtI) are critical pieces of contemporary classroom practice. Purposeful Writing Assessment provides both of these elements in a quick, easy-to-use format. At the beginning of the year, administer a Comprehensive Writing Assessment to determine areas of strength and opportunities for growth in your students' knowledge about the writing process, writing craft, grammar, usage, and mechanics. Then, design your instruction to meet the specific needs of your students! Throughout the year, use targeted multiple-choice mini-assessments to monitor the progress of your students as you teach and practice genre-specific writing skills. After each mini-assessment, specific RtI lesson ideas are suggested. Select from these ideas to provide on-the-spot reteaching and intervention for struggling students. Purposeful Writing Assessment helps you design your instruction to meet your students' needs, and puts progress monitoring and intervention at your fingertips.
