Final Project Example, Visit Tignor

• Reflection on Transformative Assessment by W. James Popham

• Observations from the field• Features updates, DDD and ARRS• Fellows

Sharing Formative Assessment Cyclewith Reflection built in

• Present your class Routine • Do the Math for the specifics you will be

presenting.• Present Objective(s) and describe lesson• Share the data ask a question about the data,

give everyone time to observe the data.• Have the participants share what they would

do next. The sharing can be sky high or very practical. We need to do BOTH.

• Share what you did in response to the data.

TransFormative Assessment Reading Reflection

• Chapter 2: Learning Progressions.The main idea here is that you need to be assessing as you go along towards a larger goal.

This goes beyond the scope of our work here so we are going to focus on Objectives for each lesson.

Proving ARRS Works

• The Study You pick two distinct areas you want to

assess using Skill Building Sets. Area 1 Area 2

All your students get skill building on those two areas but: Group A---Gets ARRS for Area 1 Group B---Gets ARRS for Area 2

We post test them 5 months late and see who knows the material best and by how much

Comments from the field?

• On the frontSomething that is going well

• On the backSomething that is troubling you

Happy Halloween

Fellow’s Work
