This article is about Formative Assessment, one of our school focuses this year. This article will start a series of articles around this idea, as it is one very near to my heart.
There is a brief summary:
Formative assessments are best when the are linked to a clear learning target
Formative assessments provide opportunities for offering feedback in a timely matter about progress toward the explicitly stated learning target
Make explicit the link between success on the formative assessment and student effort
Encourage students to engage in self-reflection around the formative assessment
Use formative assessments to help set goals for students so improvement is expected and measurable
Additionally, there is a conversation about low level FA tasks vs. high level FA tasks. Which do you employ on a regular basis?
