Assessment of student skills is one of the most imporant factors of whether you have created an effective inclusive classroom. Offering a number of options for assessents allows all different types of learners to succeed. There are so many different methods of assessment that can motivate and engage students much more than any standardized test. The testing accomodations chart on page 459 offer a simple glance into the many ways you can scaffold your students so they can experience the same success as their peers.

This 88 page pdf is essentially a teacher handbook on assessments in diverse classrooms. This resource could be used to offer new and interesting types of assessments that play to your student's interests thereby engaging them. There is general information about types and benefits of individual assessments as well as classroom assessments. Chapter 3 focuses solely on accomodations and includes information on:
What are accomodations, who should have them, and how to implement them correctly.

This pdf is a handbook for undrstanding curriculum based measurement. I chose to include this because it expounds on what the book introduced. I think this is a valuable tool for undestanding progress and growth in your classroom.

I chose rubistar as one of my resources becuase i use it regularly. It allows you to create a rubric for any type of assignment in a flash. It has built in rubrics that you can alter or you can start from scratch. It is a valuable tool that will enable me to create different rubrics for many projects with ease.
