Fifth+Grade+Standards

“ Nothing has more possibilities, than one old wet picture puzzle piece.” This is the final line of the poem Picture Puzzle Piece by Shel Silverstein. The puzzle piece I have found is a new perspective on assessment. Full of new ideas, strategies, and tools, this has the potential to create change for students. This project involves setting achievement targets for fifth grade students. Marking these targets will help my grade level team plan assessment for learning in reading and writing. The targets will become accessible to parents and students, by sharing them in plain language. This will set up students for success, because students can hit any target that is clearly set for them and holds still (Stiggins, 2008, p. 42). The project has three parts. Part 1 is a list of standards we plan to focus on this year. Part 2 is a short overview in plain language. Part 3 is a very detailed list of what the standards mean.
