Alignment Document

Create an Alignment Document that includes applicable state standards, learning objectives, lesson title, and assessments. A reviewer should be able to see which learning objectives align with which assessments. Applicable standards should be included at the unit level (no need to include applicable standards at the lesson level).

Formative Assessment

Plus courses should have at least one formative assessment per new concept/topic introduced. Formative assessments are any form of test, quiz, or practice activity that is meant to gauge learners’ progress as they go through the course. Typically, formative assessments are non-graded and are used as a tool to measure whether the student is learning the material and meeting the lesson objectives.
