Goals of all classes:
Pick standards-based objectives to teach
Use formative assessment to inform instruction
Facilitate students mastering the objectives

What is Formative Assessment?
1. It’s used to determine the student’s grade in class
2. It should happen every few weeks or after the end of a unit
3. It helps the teacher formulate lessons
4. It’s used by an art teacher as a rubric for grading sculptures

Formative Assessment
Summative Assessment
Purpose To improve instruction and provide student feedback
To measure student competency
When administered Ongoing throughout unit End of unit or course
How students use results
To self-monitor understanding
To gauge their progress toward course or grade-level goals and benchmarks
How teachers use results
To check for understanding
For grades, promotion
Formative Assessment Examples:
1. Response Cards
2. Dry-erase Boards
3. Journal entries
4. Classroom discussion Popsicle sticks No predictable pattern
5. Teacher circulates as students work

If they aren’t ready, don’t move on
Don’t grade formative assessments!
Coach: “We don’t score practices. We score real games”
We want students to focus on learning,
not on getting a good grade.
•No need to cheat•No need for parents to do homework•No bias against slower learners
Differentiate Instruction
Students who haven’t mastered Small group instruction based on
skill deficits
Students who are ready to move on
Let’s Try It…
Which is a better deal?
$1.008 oz.
$2.0012 oz.
Student: Already KNOWS, UNDERSTANDS, and can APPLY Math Concepts.
Differentiate…
What would make cutting the fresh pineapple a good deal?
$1.008 oz.
$2.0012 oz.
$3.00each
Planning Formula
1. Decide learning objective(s)
2. Present a lesson for all
3. Check for understanding with formative assessment
4. Re-teach students who haven’t mastered objectives
5. Extend learning through higher level thinking for those that are ready
Keys to Formative Assessment
1. Communicate Clear Expectations
2. Provide Specific and Timely Feedback
3. Students Need to Know How They Are Doing and How They Will Be Assessed
4. If Students Aren’t Learning, Change How You Are Teaching

Topics to Consider #1
What is the purpose of grading? Grades Indicate Effort: You can’t get an A if
you don’t do homework. If you do half the work on your job, you get fired.
Grades are Motivational: It’s important to keep hope alive. Once kids think they will fail they will stop trying.
Grades Reflect Mastery: Some students need to work harder than others. At the end of the day it’s about the results.

Topics to Consider #2
Which of these are true about grading? Grades should determine the group or track
a student should be placed in. “A” students need harder classes.
Grades should be set to a bell curve. Poor grades motivate students to try
harder.

Topics to Consider #3
What is the difference between a zero when the teacher uses percentages versus points? (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1)
