It is essential that school districts collaborate to build an assessment system aligned with the CCSS math. Collaboration between math teachers to design benchmark and classroom assessments will give the administrators, teachers, students, and parents the information they need to focus on the important mathematics at the heart of the CCSS Math. When teachers work together to design learning progressions and benchmark assessments they learn how the CCSS Math is focused on big ideas and how important it is that all math teachers teach these ideas in a consistent manner. Finally, as math teachers create and collaborate to design classroom tasks consistent with the learning progressions and benchmark assessments their teaching begin to become more focused and consistent with the CCSS Math. The vision is a math classroom where students are engaged in meaningful mathematics and teachers collect and use assessment information to guide and inform everyone about the mathematics achievement progress of the students.
