Tier III: Assessing
Tier III: Assessing centers on evaluating student learning and refining instructional impact. Students are empowered to use and evaluate evidence, engage in historical thinking, and write with purpose and persuasion. Teachers are supported in measuring disciplinary success, collaborative goal setting, and effective data use. To transform practice, this tier promotes enabling civic discourse, establishing a shared language for success, and cultivating a data-driven discipline. Tier III helps educators effectively "evaluate what we value" by embedding assessment practices that foster deeper thinking, reflection, and instructional improvement.
