Hey, y’all! I wanted to take a quick second to tell you about a resource I’ve been trying out. I recently received a copy of Mastery Education Measuring Up. I’ve enjoyed the rigor of the questioning, along with the variety of question formats.
Mastery Education presents Measuring Up
Measuring Up helps students in grades 2-8 measure up to the English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards. It offers standards-based instruction to meet student needs, supplement your curriculum, intervention, and more!
Measuring Up’s key benefits
- Introduce concepts by connecting what students will learn–> what they may already know–>real-world examples.
- Provide key academic vocabulary in context.
- Scaffold learning with guided instruction, questions, hints, and checklists at point of learning.
- Apply learning independently with questions that prepare students for high-stakes assessments.
- Measure mastery with Exit Tickets.
- Motivate students to master the standards with checkpoints, hints, turn and talk, think about it and other prompts.
The Teacher’s Edition offers:
- Instruction to incorporate the real-world lesson goal
- Differentiation for struggling, advanced, and English language learners
- Scoring rubrics, checklists, and graphic organizers.
It really is a nice resource to help guide my kids. What I really love about it is that the stories and articles are pretty engaging. I’ve used the reading practice book, and the kids have responded very well to it.
The online tools are priceless! So many neat components…too many to list the ALL out for you. But you can create your own assessments with specific standards in mind, choose from assessments already created, share with your school, look at charts and graphs of your students’ data…SOOO much, y’all! You HAVE to check it out: Mastery Education Measuring Up.
I’ll be back soon!
Until next time…
