Let’s play a game….
Question: How many calories do you burn per hour by banging your head against a wall?
Instructions: Everyone get out of you seat and start circulating.
Whenever I call “FREEZE!” you need to stop and be ready to form a group.
![Page 4: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
If you think the answer is…
50 or less calories: form a group of 251-100 calories: form a group of 3101-150 calories: form a group of 4151 or more calories: form a group of 5
![Page 5: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
…survey says:
150 calories burned per hour by banging your head against the wall
If you were in a group of 4, you were correct!
![Page 6: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Let’s try this again!
Here’s your question: On average, how many people are killed each year by a vending machine falling on top of them?
![Page 7: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1 to 3 people: form a group of 24 to 10 people: form a group of 311 to 15 people: form a group of 416 or more people: form a group of 5
![Page 8: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Directions are on websiteCheck student learning during a unitGets students out of their seatMust work with others and take on
leadership rolesType of informal formative assessment
![Page 12: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Informal Formative Assessments
What’s the purpose? Quick check of student learning that guides
instruction Assessments used during instruction (frequently) Effective way to routinely check if students “get
it” Avoid the huge “shock” when grading tests So the purpose: to inform you AND your students
![Page 13: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
OUR purpose
Show the importance and effectiveness of informal formative assessments
Show techniques applicable to core and elective classrooms
Show “classic” versions and technology driven versions

Whiteboard Draw
Requires a personal mini-whiteboard and marker for each student
Can be used to quiz, survey, examples, main idea, possible answers, sequencing, etc.
“1, 2, 3, Draw!”Toward teacher, then “draw” again towards
shoulder partner“Draw” multiple times to see other answersCan also use white paper, note cards, paper
plates, etc.
![Page 18: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In 12 word or less
Strategy that can be used after a small amount of study
Writing one sentence summing up the main points
Deciding what is important to includeHelps to guide instruction from thereFill in the gapsDo you students know the “main idea”?Can be used in any content area
![Page 19: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Class Vote
To go one step beyond voting, group students and have each group select a speaker to take share their “stance”
Teacher is the judge and decides who justified answer the best
Could be used in a Social Studies classroom for debates/political issues
![Page 20: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Four Corners
Assign vocabulary words, concepts, or questions to each corner of the room
Students are assigned a corner and must respond as a group to the prompt
Each corner shares outCan be used in any content areaShould be more general concepts, instead of
“debatable” theories

Strategies apply to performance based assessment.
Discussion and Teacher feedback are used to improve performance of skill/concept.
![Page 24: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Methods or Techniquesfor Authentic Assessment
Performance demonstrations or tests such as playing a chordal song accompaniment on an instrument or clapping a steady beat while singing a song.
Audio or video recordings that document samples of students’ musical behavior.
Portfolios that chronicle and monitor student learning over a period of time.
Interview or conferences with students to determine the depth of their understanding and give students a chance to reflect on their achievement.

Band Strategies
Full Ensemble Snippet- Entire Ensemble performs selection of music. Recording/playback/discussion/immediate director feedback
Section Snippet- Single/multiple sections perform selection of music. Recording/playback/discussion/immediate director feedback
![Page 26: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Band Cont.
Individual Snippet- One or two students perform the selection of music with director providing immediate feedback and encouragement.
Sight Seeing- In six minutes or less, performers look over new music and look for cues to how the music is to be performed. (Same process used during state music festivals)
![Page 27: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Band Cont.
3-2-1- Students write down on index card three new music concepts recently presented, two examples where concept is used in the music, and one unresolved question or confusing concept.
Muddiest Measure- Students write down on index card the measure number of a measure of music and concept they are struggling to perform. (Rhythmic combination, new fingering)
![Page 28: Assessments for ALL Learning: We’re All in this Together!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816128550346895dd08059/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Technology used in band:
Self recorded chair tests-assesses individual skill level at that time, while providing competition and goals to achieve.
Self-recording, using UJAM (lab website)-new concept of student recording at home and sharing when at school. Assesses performer’s ability to play in time with a recorded song or metronome.

Other Encore IFAs:
Exit Slip (percussion goal for the quarter-student self reflects and teacher acquires information on weak areas in section)
Note Naming Quiz (timed, reward is bragging rights! Students reflect on what notes need more work)
Carousel Brainstorming-While Carousel Brainstorming, students will rotate around the classroom in small groups, stopping at various stations for a designated amount of time. While at each station, students will activate their prior knowledge of different topics or different aspects of a single topic through conversation with peers. Ideas shared will be posted at each station for all groups to read. Through movement and conversation, prior knowledge will be activated, providing scaffolding for new information to be learned in the proceeding lesson activity.
