  10. What are elements of effective formative assessments? Classroom Vignettes • Each team member read a vignette • Share vignettes as a team • Discuss details in the vignettes you consider elements of effective elements of formative assessment

  11. All too often, the term “formative assessment” conjures images of quizzes and tests, while in reality, formative assessment is a process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning.

  12. Successful Implementation of Formative Assessments • Clarifying, sharing, and understanding learning intentions and criteria for success • Engineering effective classroom discussions, activities, and learning tasks that elicit evidence of learning • Providing feedback that moves learning forward • Activating learners as instructional resources for one another • Activating learners as owners of their own learning -(Dylan Wiliam)

  13. Implementing formative assessment as a process Shawn:“I used to do a lot of explaining, but now I do a lot of questioning. I used to do a lot of talking, but now I do a lot of listening. I use to think about teaching the curriculum, but now I think about teaching the student.” -(Heritage, 2010, p. 4).

  14. Globe and Mail Article Quickwrite: What do you think?

  15. Believing Game • Identify the author’s claim. • Using your T-chart, record your beliefs • Make only statements that support the author’s claim. Find and speak from places in yourselves that honestly connect with him. • After everyone’s finished, discuss. Work hard at believing as much of the argument as you can. • Record these for the group on chart paper.

  16. Guiding Questions for Believing What is interesting or helpful about this view? What would you notice if you believed this view? In what sense or under what conditions might these ideas be true? How can this view possibly be right? Avoid disagreeing or making negative or challenging statements.

  20. Debrief What did you notice about the statements and questions? Did the experience affect your point of view, even if only slightly? How? or Why not? “Certainty is rarely if ever possible and we increase the likelihood of getting things wrong if we succumb to the hunger for it.” -Peter Elbow
