by Kelly Sassi and Anne R Gere
What will students be asked to do when faced with the writing tasks on the Common Core State Standards assessments?

Kelly Sassi and Anne Ruggles Gere unpack the PARCC and Smarter Balanced approaches to writing assessment, and provide effective strategies to help students develop as writers as well as prepare for the new writing tasks.
