Standards-Aligned Formative Assessment: Developing Questions to Align Instruction to the Language Arts Florida Standards

ERPL Learning Target ØI will understand the connection between the standards, evidence statements, test specifications, and text based formative assessment questions, Øso that I can write standards based questions appropriate to the grade level FSA Test Specifications.
