Frequent assessments can help teachers track learning and adjust instruction, but relying on external assessors can be costly. Could teachers do it themselves?

Fantastic quote from @C_Hendrick on @MrZachG ‘s recent podcast. Foundational, teacher guided instruction is an equity lever. Lessons that lack that foundational guidance disadvantage learners, creating or widening equity gaps.
