CFA Resource Folder
⭐CFAs will drive instruction. You have other ways for your team to formally and informally assess standards along the way, including:
- 3-8 Cognia sets
- Exit tickets
- Illuminate Cluster quizzes
- Performance Tasks (self created or Illuminate also has some)
- Curriculum based embedded assessments
🛑CFA’s may not cover EVERY standard in order to be reasonable in length. We need to make sure we are tracking the standards that we know are priority and heavily weighed. Using all of our data points to check for that mastery, or lack thereof, makes our data even more valuable.
Please note: Using the CFA to prepare can be good practice when used in combination with other resources. The CFA only shows ONE way that the standard may be addressed. Do not only prepare your students for the way the CFA is presented. Stay focused on the standard and use Illuminate as well as other resources to prepare your students to be successful on the standards.
