What is Formative Assessment By Rick Wormeli
SLIDE 8
Revised Formative Assessment
Ø After watching the video, has your definition changed? Ø Share with an elbow partner and give each other descriptive feedback on your definition - 2 minutes
SLIDE 9
Rick Wormeli on FA
ØEvaluate focused areas of the curriculum to guide instruction. ØPurposeful on-going checks for understanding that result in teachers revising instruction based on assessment data and students discovering more ways to learn as a result of the experience. ØAfter descriptive feedback, teachers give students
- pportunities to pursue those new strategies.
ØIs not safe or passive; it provokes. It compels a response in the teacher and student.
SLIDE 10
Purpose of Formative Assessment
ØChecks for understanding along the way that gives
the “pulse” of student learning and guides teacher decision-making about future instruction.
ØProvides feedback to students so they can improve
their performance.
ØProvides an opportunity for progress, not a
declaration of deficiency.
SLIDE 11
Role of Learning Targets in Formative Assessment
ØSelect a learning target for the day ØHow can students demonstrate their understanding of
target in class?
ØKinesthetic, Oral, Visual, Written, Tech ØCollect Data ØAssess ØGive Feedback ØReflection ØAdjust teaching accordingly

the following question:
Formative Assessment can be used for:
q Front Right Corner: Determining grades q Front Left Corner: Learning Concepts q Back Right Corner: Closing Achievement Gaps q Back Left Corner: Giving Feedback to Students vWhat can we learn from this information?

Self-Assessment
- Some students may need instruction about how
to use feedback and how to do self-assessment.
- Students who have never experienced self-
assessment may at first claim that feedback is solely "the teacher's job."
Research suggests, however, that once students realize that information from both teacher feedback and their own self- assessment can help them improve, they will process material more deeply, persist longer, and try harder. In short, they will become more self-regulated learners. Wiggins, G., & McTighe, J. (2005)

When to grade formative assessment?
ü Do make learning targets clear and achievable goals ü Do provide individual and class feedback so that students know if they are progressing towards their goals ü Do allow students multiple attempts to meet a learning target
SLIDE 25
ØHow do you grade formative vs summative assessments? ØDo formative assessments always have to be entered in the grade book?
