Learn. Grow. <\/em>is grateful for another year of supporting educators in doing their best work in service of the countless kids ready to learn, grow, and reach their potential. Here are the posts that resonated most with our readers in the last twelve months. We hope they will energize you as you prepare to return to the classroom following a well-deserved winter break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Posts about formative assessment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Formative assessment is an invaluable tool for teachers. It lets you get a good sense for where your students are in their learning without the high stakes of an end-of-unit test or state summative. Best of all, it provides information in real time, so you can adapt your lesson plans as needed to keep all the kids in your room engaged and doing their best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the most popular <em>Teach. Learn. Grow. <\/em>posts about formative assessment in 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2023\/what-is-formative-assessment\/\">\u201cWhat is formative assessment?\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/27-easy-formative-assessment-strategies-for-gathering-evidence-of-student-learning\/\">\u201c27 easy formative assessment strategies for gathering evidence of student learning\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/75-digital-tools-apps-teachers-use-to-support-classroom-formative-assessment\/\">\u201c75 digital tools and apps teachers can use to support formative assessment in the classroom\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more on formative assessment, head over to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/topic\/formative-assessment\/\">formative assessment archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Posts about MAP Growth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When used in conjunction with formative assessment and other student data, MAP\u00ae Growth\u2122 can help provide an even clearer view into student learning. We recommend administering the interim assessment three times a year: in the fall, winter, and spring. That will allow you to see trends over time and, just like with formative assessment, make adjustments as needed to help all the children in your classroom reach grade-level standards by the close of the school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how MAP Growth works is critical for success. The three most popular posts about the assessment are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/six-commonly-used-map-growth-terms-worth-knowing\/\">\u201c6 commonly used MAP Growth terms worth knowing\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/12-common-questions-parents-ask-map-growth-assessment\/\">\u201c12 common questions parents ask about MAP Growth\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/sharing-assessment-data-with-parents-just-got-simpler-2\/\">\u201cSharing assessment data with parents just got simpler\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about MAP Growth, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/map-growth\/\">our website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@NWEAvideos\">YouTube channel<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/product\/map-growth\/\">archive of MAP Growth posts here on <em>Teach. Learn. Grow<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Posts about literacy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading changes lives and is, arguably, the most important skill children are asked to master in elementary school. It may also be the most difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the most popular posts about literacy instruction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/the-science-of-reading-explained\/\">\u201cThe science of reading explained\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/the-science-of-teaching-reading-comprehension\/\">\u201cThe science of teaching reading comprehension\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwea.org\/blog\/2024\/6-strategies-for-teaching-multisyllabic-word-reading\/\">\u201c6 strategies for teaching multisyllabic word reading\u201d<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more by visiting the <em>Teach.
