All Kids Will Learn

In order for all students to learn, each teacher should know what every student should be able to do at the end of each unit.  Of course, this only makes common sense because if you don't have a target, then you don't know at what to aim.  Formative assessments are essential for this to happen.  I agree with the author of Whatever It Takes, Richard DuFour, that schools need to have a plan in place when students do not learn.
