One of the best implementations of ALL In Learning and PLCs is targeted or chunked assessments done on a regular interval – once a week or every two weeks. Ideally, assessing 3 or 4 questions per standard provides a valid sample size to identify which students have mastered the concept and which ones need intervention. When teachers have data on how the students did that week, they quickly determine what did and didn’t work and what changes should be made.

With frequent PLC data analysis, best practices within a PLC are easier to identify and replicate and much more timely.  The difficult process of “spiraling back” 6-8 weeks later is now eliminated with weekly data, analysis and remediation.
