Attempt to align assessments with national and state achievement tests
Ideally, assessments through out the school year that support what children will be expected to do on achievement tests would create the greatest amount of continuity through out the curriculum. However, achievement tests often do not follow the principles of learning and understanding. Therefore, good instruction should not be sacrificed for this continuity, but it is something to keep in mind.
