2 What is Formative Assessment? Checking to see if students understand a topic. How we, as teachers, assess our students without grading them. Actions used to “gauge” where students are in their learning process.

3 What is Formative Assessment?...cont. A way for teachers to review student progress or lack of progress. A way for teachers to test themselves in their teaching procedures. A way for teachers to give students feedback in their lessons in order to help the students do better the next time.

4 Formative Assessment vs. Summative Assessment Formative assessment is not a grade. It is simply feedback for the students and the teacher. Summative assessment is the grade students receive.

5 Examples of Formative Assessment… Observations Checklist Questioning Interviews Rubrics Student evidence Pre-test/pre-quiz Many, many more

6 Selecting Assessment Tools Every teacher needs to have as many assessment tools as possible to choose from. You never know when you may need a different type of assessment to use. Find assessment tools that work well together. Make sure they provide useful information for the student as well as the teacher.

7 Examples of Formative Assessment from the Chapter… Riding a bicycle. – We do not simply put a child on a bike and say go for it. Then when they are not able to ride it, tell them that they are not allowed to ever ride by themselves again. – We have to show them and guide them in how to ride by themselves. – Sometimes it takes countless times to get it right.

8 Examples of Formative Assessment from the Chapter…cont. Cell diagram in a sixth grade science class. – We walk around and observe what they are doing and how they are doing it. – We question them as to what they are doing and why they did what they did. – We tell them what they need to do to correct what is wrong. – We show them a correct diagram for them to go by.

9 Examples of Formative Assessment from the Chapter…cont How to toss a tennis ball for a serve. – We have to show them. – We have to tell them. – We have to guide them. – We have to correct them. – And maybe even repeat all of the above. CORRECTIVE BEHAVIOR
