Assessment Design
Formative and summative assessments aligned to what actually matters in your curriculum.
Assessments measure what is easy to measure, not what the curriculum claims to build.
Assessment is the strongest signal a school sends to teachers and students about what really counts. When it drifts from the curriculum's intent, the intent quietly loses.
We start from the curriculum's outcomes, define what evidence would count, then design the assessments that produce it — with equal seriousness given to formative and summative work.
Everything that makes the engagement land.

What you actually receive.
Every artifact is designed to be used by the people who need it — not to sit in a shared drive.
Assessment blueprint
A grade-by-strand blueprint naming what is assessed, how, and why — the anchor for every downstream task.
Task and rubric library
A library of aligned formative and summative tasks with matching rubrics.
Moderation protocol
A protocol for departmental moderation and calibration, with worked examples.
A few of the artifacts partners have received.
Anonymized examples of the kind of work this engagement produces.
Sample summative task
An anonymized summative task with rubric, exemplar responses, and moderation notes.
Full samples are shared under NDA during discovery — never on the public site.
