Abstract

Professional learning communities (PLCs) have been implemented in school districts as a means to promote effective instructional policy initiatives and best practices. The purpose of this chapter is to identify assessment literacy commonalities within middle school-level math PLCs and to compare those commonalities across PLCs with different levels of student math growth. Multiple indicators of assessment literacy were used to supply rich descriptions of assessment literacy within each PLC using a procedure recommended by Bernhardt for effective data-driven decision making. Based upon the findings the researcher concluded that commonalities existed among PLCs with different levels of student math growth.
