It can be difficult to think of challenging, high-level
questions that will provide the critical thinking you expect
from your students, especially when you need to have
multiple item types. Quality test items should be textbased, keeping the students in the text and reflecting
on the text for their responses.
Common Core Progress Monitor supports you by
providing benchmark assessments with high-level items
to evaluate how well students understand the Common
Core State Standards.
In this preview of Common Core Progress Monitor
Benchmark Assessments, you will find sample item
types students will experience on new state print and
online assessments.

Performance Tasks
The Performance Tasks in the Common Core Progress
English Language Arts program are designed to determine
a student’s ability to closely read and understand a
complex text, locate textual evidence to support analysis
of the text, and create an extended response that shows
deep comprehension of the text. Writing prompts in each
part of the Performance Task address Common Core
requirements to create literary analyses, narratives, or
research-based texts. Each Performance Task has three
main parts: Literary Analysis, Narrative Writing, and
Research Simulation.
Each grade level includes Unit, Mid- and End-of-Year
Performance Tasks in the Student Worktext and online.
