Common Assessments
According to Lewis Johnson, Director of
Testing and Research, RCS, a common
assessment is any means of measuring
student performance
that meets these criteria for:
Content of the test
Timing of the test
Use of the results
UNIT PENGURUSAN AKADEMIK PPDJJ 152
The items or tasks measure a set of skills that were taught or will be taught (as in
a common pre-assessment).
Has at a majority of the items which are exactly the ―same‖ so performance on
these items can be compared between teachers. Additional items may be added to
individualize the assessment, BUT a score must be derived for the SAME items for
each student by ALL teachers.
Is administered by all teachers teaching the same content to somewhat equivalent
groups of students.
The assessment needs to have been administered to students at nearly the same
point in time relative to the teaching of the curriculum. For example the Algebra 1
benchmark is a common assessment. However, students in the semester-long
course take benchmark #1 at the end of the first 6 weeks, while the year-long
students take the benchmark at the end of the first 12 weeks.
Common assessment should be collaboratively developed so that every teacher has
an understanding of what the expected learning outcomes for their students and a
greater understanding of the curriculum. Creating common assessments is a
significantly important PLC task.

Why We Create And Use Common Assessments?
By Rick Dufour, Becky Dufour, And Bob Eaker September 2007
Authors Of Learn By Doing.
We received a question from a principal of a high-performing middle
school who wrote: ―Although we have made significant growth in many of
the core components of a professional learning community we continue
to struggle with the perception of teacher autonomy as a result of
attempting to create common assessments. A number of teachers
continue to believe that common assessments restricts their ability to
differentiate instruction from their colleagues.... our staff still remains
hesitant to fully engage in meaningful collaboration which would result in
creating common assessments and sharing instructional practices.
UNIT PENGURUSAN AKADEMIK PPDJJ 154
We have offered our own arguments as to why assessments created by a team of teachers are superior to the
formal assessments developed by a teacher working in isolation.
1. Team-developed common assessments are more efficient.
If five teachers teaching the same course or grade level are responsible for ensuring all students acquire the
same knowledge and skills, it make sense those teachers would work together to determine the best methods
to assess student learning. A team of teachers could divide responsibilities for creating a unit and developing
assessments. Teachers working in isolation replicate and duplicate effort. They work hard, but they do not
work smart.
2.Team-developed common assessments are more equitable.
The use of common assessments increases the likelihood that students will have access to the same
curriculum, acquire the same essential knowledge and skills, take assessments of the same rigor, and have
their work judged according to the same criteria. We have witnessed repeated examples of teachers who were
emphatic about the need for consistency, equity, and fairness in terms of how they were dealt with as adults,
being completely unconcerned about the inconsistency, inequity, and lack of fairness that characterized the
assessment of student learning in their school. If every teacher has license to assess whatever and however he
or she determines, according to criteria unique to and often known only by that teacher, schools will never be
institutions that truly model a commitment to equity.

3. Team-developed common formative assessments are more effective in monitoring and improving student learning.
We have cited several researchers who have concluded that team-developed common formative assessments are one of the most powerful strategies available to
educators for improving student achievement. We know of no research concluding the formal assessments created by individual teachers working in isolation
advance student learning.
3. Team-developed common formative assessments can inform and improve the practice of both individual teachers and teams of teachers.
Teachers do not suffer from a lack of data. Virtually every time a teacher gives an ssessment of any kind, the teacher is able to generate data – mean, mode,
median, standard deviation, percentage failing, percentage passing, and so on. As Robert Waterman (1987) advised, however, data alone do not inform practice.
Data cannot help educators identify the strengths and weaknesses of their strategies. Data inform only when they are presented in context, which almost always
requires a basis of comparison.
Most educators can teach an entire career and not know if they teach a particular concept more or less effectively than the teacher next door because the
assessments they generate for their isolated classrooms never provide them with a basis of comparison. Most educators can assess their students year after year,
get consistently low results in a particular area, and not be certain if those results reflect his or her teaching strategies, a weakness in the curriculum, a failure
on the part of teachers in earlier grades to ensure students develop a prerequisite skill, or any other cause. In short, most educators operate within the confines
of data, which means they operate in the dark. But in a PLC, collaborative teams create a series of common assessments, and therefore every teacher receives
ongoing feedback regarding the proficiency of his or her students, in achieving a standard the team has agreed is essential, on an assessment the team has
agreed represents a valid way to assesses what members intend for all students to learn, in comparison to other students attempting to achieve the same
standard.That basis of comparison transforms data into information.
Furthermore, as Richard Elmore (2006) wrote, ―teachers have to feel that there is some compelling reason for them to practice differently, with the best direct
evidence being that students learn better‖ (p. 38). When teachers are presented with clear evidence their students are not becoming proficient in skills they
agreed were essential, as measured on an assessment they helped to create, and that similar students taught by their colleagues have
demonstrated proficiency on the same assessment, they are open to exploring new practices. When the performance of their students consistently prevents
their team from achieving its goals, they are typically willing to address the problem. In fact, we consider team-developed common formative assessments one
of the most powerful motivators for
stimulating teachers to consider changes in their practice
UNIT PENGURUSAN AKADEMIK PPDJJ 156
5. Team-developed common formative assessments can build the capacity of the team to achieve at higher levels.
As Wiliam and Thompson (2007) found, the conversations surrounding the creation of common formative assessments are
a powerful tool for professional development. When schools ensure every teacher has been engaged in a process to
clarify what students are to learn and how their learning will be assessed, they promote the clarity essential to effective
teaching. When teachers have access to each other’s ideas, methods, and materials they can expand their repertoire of
skills. When a team discovers the current curriculum and their existing instructional strategies are ineffective in helping
students acquire essential skills, its members are able to pursue the most powerful professional development because it
is specific, job-embedded and relevant to the context of their content, their strategies, their team, and their students.
6. Team-developed common formative assessments are essential to systematic interventions when students do not learn.
We argue that if educators were truly committed to high levels of learning for all students, they would not leave the
question, ―what happens when some students do learn‖ to chance. They would instead, work together to create systems
of intervention to ensure any student who struggles receives additional time and support for learning in a timely and
directive way. Team-developed common formative assessments are a critical element of that system of intervention.
Not every assessment should be a common assessment. There is still a place for individual teachers to create their own
formal assessments. Team-developed common assessments will never eliminate the need for individual teachers to
monitor student learning each day through a wide variety of strategies that check for understanding. But if schools are
ever to take full advantage of the power of assessment to impact student learning in a posit
ive way, they must include common formative assessments in their arsenal. Professional learning communities will make
team-developed common formative assessments a cornerstone of their work.

What Are Common Formative Assessments?
Periodic or interim assessments collaboratively designed by grade-level
or course teams of teachers
Designed as matching pre-and post-assessments to ensure same-
assessment to same-assessment comparison of student growth
Similar in design and format to district and state assessments
Items should represent essential (Power) standards only
A blend of item types, including selected-response (multiple choice,
true/false, matching) and constructed-response (short- or extended)
Administered to all students in grade level or course several times
during the quarter, semester, trimester, or entire school year
Student results analyzed in Data Teams to guide instructional planning
and delivery
UNIT PENGURUSAN AKADEMIK PPDJJ 158
What Are the Guidelines for Designing Common Formative
Assessments?
Identify and vertically align Power Standards in content areas for each grade
level and course, preK–12.
Determine important topics to assess with common formative assessment;
locate the Power Standards that match those topics.
―Unwrap‖ the Power Standards for those topics to pinpoint concepts and skills
students need to know and be able to do.
From those ―unwrapped‖ Power Standards, determine Big Ideas that represent
the integrated understanding students need to gain.
Collaboratively design common formative pre-and post-assessments—aligned to
one another—that assess student understanding of the concepts, skills, and Big
Ideas from the ―unwrapped‖ Power Standards.
Include both selected-response and constructed-response items.
Review items to determine if student assessment results will provide evidence
of proficiency regarding the Power Standards in focus; modify items as needed.
UNIT PENGURUSAN AKADEMIK PPDJJ 159
What Are the Benefits of Using Common Formative Assessments?
Regular and timely feedback regarding student attainment of most critical
standards, which allows teachers to modify instruction to better meet the
diverse learning needs of all students
Multiple-measure assessments that allow students to demonstrate their
understanding in a variety of formats
Ongoing collaboration opportunities for grade-level, course, and department
teachers
Consistent expectations within a grade level, course, and department regarding
standards, instruction, and assessment priorities
Agreed-upon criteria for proficiency to be met within each individual classroom,
grade level, school, and district
Deliberate alignment of classroom, school, district, and state assessments to
better prepare students for success on state assessments
Results that have predictive value as to how students are likely to do on each
succeeding assessment, in time to make instructional modifications
