Developing Formative Assessment Tools and Routines for Additive Reasoning

With a $450,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, Caroline Ebby developed and piloted research-based formative assessment tools and routines for the early elementary grades. She and her team will be providing professional development and ongoing support throughout the 2017-18 school year for 275 School District of Philadelphia teachers. Dr. Ebby is collaborating with the Ongoing Assessment Project to translate research findings on student learning of number and operations into ways for teachers to regularly assess student understanding and develop targeted instructional responses.
