Customize Instruction with Formative Assessments

Use Formative Assessment to customize EMC’s Mirrors & Windows for your students—quickly and easily!
Identify Skill Levels
The Formative Surveys provided in the Assessment Guide for each level measure students’ basic reading and writing skills. Administer Formative Survey 1 at the start of the course to determine each student’s level of competency in language arts skills.
Customize Instruction
Use a student’s score on Formative Survey 1 to identify selections and supplementary materials that will best help each student meet and exceed state and national language arts standards. Each selection in the textbook is rated Easy, Moderate, or Challenging, as well as many of the lessons in the Meeting the Standards Unit Resource books.
Measure Progress
To realign instruction.
Administer Formative Survey 2 and use the results to revise your plan for each student as necessary.
To obtain a summative measure. Administer Formative Survey 2 and compare the results on both surveys to quantify each student’s progress.
