Consensus Scoring and Peer Planning: Meeting Literacy Accountability Demands One School at a Time
Fisher, Douglas; Lapp, Diane; Flood, James
Reading Teacher, v58 n7 p656-666 Apr 2005
To improve literacy achievement, the authors developed consensus scoring and peer planning as a process of professional development and school improvement. This process allows teachers to (1) gain an increased understanding of the content and performance standards that guide their instruction; (2) work together to assess student work; (3) work together to plan, understand, and provide quality instruction; and (4) reteach content as necessary to ensure student mastery. Two school examples of the use of this process to improve achievement are presented.
