Formative Assessment
Formative assessment occurs when
teachers feed information back to
students in ways that enable the
students to learn better
Formative vs. Summative
• Summative
How much students have
learned at a particular point
in time
• Formative
How can we use
assessments to help
students learn MORE
Formal Assessment Strategies
• Anticipation guides
• Circle map
• Carousel
• Knowledge rating chart
• Frayer model
An Example…
• Exit Cards
– Students look back on what was
covered in class
– Teacher get a “snapshot” of what
students learned
Another Example…
• Thumbs up/thumbs down
• Are the students OK with this
topic or do they need more time?
Resources
• Llyod,D., Davis, M., & Skol, N. (2013, February 8). Formative assessment: How can we help students learn more?

Notas do Editor

  1. Today we are going to talk about formative assessment. We will take a look at what formative assessment is, how it is used and some examples of it.
  2. Take a second and read the list. How are these items related? Of course, these items are all things that give you a measurement, a gage as to where something is, the status of something. The level of a car’s oil, a person’s blood pressure, the temperature outside. It is good to know these things before there is a problem. If you did not know that your car was low on oil, at the end of a long trip, your car’s engine could seize up. Why wait until you ruin your car when you could have done things, like put more oil in your car, along the way.
  3. In the world of education, teachers need to take these “measurements” along the way before it is too late. This is accomplished with formative assessment. Having a student fail a unit test is not the correct time to realize that the student was not “getting” the information. This could have been seen long before and prevented.
  4. That is the difference between summative assessment and formative assessment. It is a current teacher’s responsibility to be aware of the progress students are making along the way. By using formative assessment, a teacher can make the appropriate changes to lessons and activities to be differentiate to give each student the best chance at succeeding. The one size fits all approach is no longer appropriate as teachers cannot just deliver content and give a test to see how much a student has learned.  
  5. There are many different types of formative assessment. One important aspect that I have taken with me from in-services and workshops years ago was that formative assessment should be planned. Teachers need to be aware of points in one’s curriculum that serve as check points along the way. Whatever the specific strategy you choice to use, it should be planned to give the educator the best idea of where his/her students are at.
  6. Exit cards are a great closure activity in the classroom. It serves two purposes for formative assessment. It is good for the individual student to reflect back upon the content and organize it in their words and put it on paper. As well, the teacher can see what material the class is good with and what material one, some, or many students need more time and help with.
  7. A fun formative assessment activity involves students putting their heads down and responding with a thumbs up or thumbs down to the teachers questions. This is a quick way for a teacher to easily see if the class is ready to move on to the next topic or not.
