Definition of Formative Assessment Why should we use it? Advantages and Disadvantages Types of Formative Assessment Techniques in Formative Assessment.

Formative Assessments ("assessment for learning") (Stiggins, 2007) • on going assessments, observations, summaries, and reviews that inform teacher instruction and provide students feedback on a daily basis (Fisher & Frey, 2007) support learning during the learning process Summative Assessments ("assessment of learning") • to measure how much our students have learned up to a particular point in time (Stiggins).

@ Formative assessments: • check for understanding along the way • guide teacher decision making about future instructions • provide feedback to students so they can improve their performance -Y help teachers differentiate instructions and thus improve student achievement..

The most powerful moderator in the enhancement of achievement: helps teachers identify the current state of learners' knowledge and skills • create appropriate lessons, activities and groupings • inform students about their progress to help them set goals.

Results of formative assessment adjust their teaching strategies and match students with appropriate materials and learning conditions. Help a teacher determine: how to group students whether students need alternative materials • how much time to allocate to specific learning activities • which concepts need to be re-taught to specific students, and • which students are ready to advance..

30 OF 1. Advantages: @ For teachers: • helps identify students who are struggling with particular tasks or operating under misconceptions -Y improved instruction that addresses student learning fosters student motivation, on-task behavior, and self- awareness.

30 1. Advantages: @ For students: • offers increased feelings of confidence and control • encourages students to engage in more complex thinking and problem solving and to hold higher expectations for their own learning • help students spend more time on challenging tasks, develop an ability to assess their own work, and become effective evaluators of the work of their peers.

30 OF 2. Disadvantages: o Be hugely time-consuming @ Be likely to need different kinds of formative assessment at different stages in students' "learning journeys" Be difficult to measure how best to do it with groups of students who may be at different stages of development.

Address a specific skill Used in skill assessment such as team and leadership exercises The teacher may walk around the room as students are engaged an activity Record on informal notes > For example: Students are working on a writing challenge The teacher may record what is observed.

ASSESSMENT @ Students reflect on their learning, and assess where they are in the continuum. Students can also be used a peer evaluators, explaining how they feel a product reflects what was expected..

504, Learning Conversation @Anticipation Guides • Complete the first section of this guide prior to reading and/or instruction • Complete the second section of the guide after instruction -Y Provides a great deal of information to the teacher, i.e. depth of student prior knowledge and level of knowledge following reading and instruction..

505, Stu0ent-Åed Assessment @ Case-Based Instruction @ Students structure their own learning using the "story" of the case. • generate questions based both on their interests and prior knowledge that relates to the topic of study *Investigative cases are useful for lifelong learning because they are open-ended and draw from a broad range of situations in which various thinking skill levels can be applied..
