The authors share classroom vignettes, strategies, and resources for going public with literacy assessment through teacher collaboration with colleagues, with families, and with the community.

Teachers want assessment tools and strategies that inform instruction, engage students in the process, and invite families and community members to enter into the conversation about student learning and progress. When teachers work collaboratively with one another, they align beliefs and practices to generate new ideas that reflect the questions they are asking about literacy and learning. When students, families, and the community are invited to be active, engaged participants in these discussions, all stakeholders have an opportunity to create a shared vision for literacy learning and to construct assessment tools and strategies that help everyone answer the important questions: How as teachers are we engaging with one another over our literacy assessment beliefs and practices? and How can we better bring families and communities into these conversations?
