A local assessment toolkit to promote deeper learning : transforming research into practice / Karin Hess ; foreword by Jay McTighe. - xv, 491 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Are my students thinking deeply or just working harder? infusing rigor into instruction and assessment : laying the groundwork for deeper learning for all students --
Is the task appropriate to the text? examining and using increasingly complex texts --
What does this really measure? designing and refining high-quality assessments for deeper learning --
Where do I start, what do I teach next, which supports work best? using learning progressions as a schema for planning instruction and measuring progress --
Is this a collection of tests or an assessment system? building and sustaining a local comprehensive assessment system for deeper learning.

For years, educators have turned to the Hess Cognitive Rigor Matrices (CRM) when it comes to assessment. Now for the first time, the modules are packaged into one resource to help teachers evaluate the quality and premise of their current assessment system.
