4. Measuring the Power of Learning.™ Using Formative Assessment and the Digital Library to Support Teaching and Learning 4 Four Attributes of the Formative Assessment Process

5. Measuring the Power of Learning.™ Using Formative Assessment and the Digital Library to Support Teaching and Learning 5 Clarify Intended Learning Learning Goals: ─State what students will know by the end of the lesson. ─Describe “big ideas” or concepts that are transferable and reflect the intent of the Common Core State Standards. ─Use student-friendly language like “I can…” ─Define the criteria for success

6. Measuring the Power of Learning.™ Using Formative Assessment and the Digital Library to Support Teaching and Learning 6 Provides information teachers and students need to determine where students are in their progress toward the intended learning. Evidence should be closely aligned to the learning goals and is defined by the success criteria. Experts suggest that teachers and students consider student needs, interests, and learning styles when deciding how to elicit evidence. Elicit Evidence

7. Measuring the Power of Learning.™ Using Formative Assessment and the Digital Library to Support Teaching and Learning 7 Teachers and students interpret the evidence they collect to determine where students are in relation to the learning goals and success criteria. Students can independently analyze evidence of their own learning. Strategies are identified for actionable feedback. Interpret Evidence

8. Measuring the Power of Learning.™ Using Formative Assessment and the Digital Library to Support Teaching and Learning 8 Teachers and students act on evidence as identified in the analysis of evidence to move toward the learning goals. Teachers make instructional adjustments to help students move toward success. Teachers must take into consideration each student’s readiness, interests, and learning preferences. Act on Evidence
