Assessment, Evaluation, and Curriculum Redesign in action

What do assessment-focused lesson plans look like?

The following two lesson plans were developed by teachers who incorporated the basic concept of assessment-focused planning; they began with a very clear idea of what they wanted their students to demonstrate. The first is a team-teaching effort that brought together a variety of disciplines to create a multimedia project. The second was created as a response to a shift in objectives on a state mastery test.
