Professional Learning Focus

In our work with districts, the SHOWCASE phase is where teachers learn to make assessment work for multilingual learners rather than against them.

This is where they learn to:

• Write clear success criteria that name what rigor looks like
• Design format-flexible assessments that maintain cognitive demand
• Provide feedback that's specific, actionable, and growth-oriented
• Use formative and summative assessment to inform next steps

These aren't separate practices. They're refinements that make the assessment work your teachers already do more effective for all students.
