Formative Assessment is classroom assessment that occurs prior to or during instruction, giving constant feedback to teacher and students, and are activities that are used to improve student learning.
Styles of Formative Assessment◦ Worksheets◦ Homework◦ Higher Level thinking student responses from questions◦ Informal Observations◦ Teacher Feedback◦ Observations
![Page 7: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Summative Assessment measures are those which are graded and judge a student’s ability (after completion of lesson or unit).
Styles of Summative Assessment◦ Term Papers/Research Projects◦ Chapter Achievement Tests ◦ Final Exams

Perception of what we want to assess Transfer that information to students Sets an atmosphere that involves students Links new information with existing
knowledge Constant procedure to enhance learning Integral part of the learning development

◦ Purpose-A concise vision of what the assessment will achieve Why are you doing it? What will be gained by it?
◦ Measurement-Process of distinguishing traits, characteristics, or performance
◦ Use-Determination of how to use the assessment and results Permits teachers to analyze the exact areas that need additional
attention Where improvement has been made
◦ Evaluation-The manner of making a conclusion about the quality of performance
Analysis of what has been collected through measurement is done

Before Instruction- assist teachers in making judgments about:*goals*teaching materials*effective learning activities
During Instruction-assist teachers in making choices about:*Teaching strategies*speed of instruction*monitor student conduct*adjust the scope and sequence of learning activities
After Instruction- necessary to support teachers in evaluating student learning, as well as effective resources.
*assist teachers in knowing where to go next*helps improve instruction

When planning classroom instruction you should automatically design and integrate assessment
Determine goals and objectives Assessment should guide the nature of
instruction Provides corrective instruction Give students opportunity to self-evaluate
![Page 12: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Student self-assessment Questionnaire, journal,
discussion
Alternative assessments (emphasis on thinking and collaborative
skills)
Performance-Based Portfolios Demonstrations Journals Observations
Authentic assessments Provides real-world context Solving problems
![Page 13: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The KEY to great classroom assessment is stability.
Should be:• Coordinated to a purpose• Directed using recognized quality standards• Selecting assessment approaches appropriate for
instructional decisions• Developing assessment• Administrating/recording• Interpreting the results/using assessment outcomes
These techniques all promote student motivation for educational success (Einspruch, Grover, Hahn, Guy, & Deck, 2001; Shore, 1998;Yair, 2000).
![Page 14: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Motivation is enhanced by teachers constantly assessing and providing useful feedback to students.
Benefits:
• Encourages students to adjust their own learning• Students are more engaged in learning• Curriculum is individualized and related to their interests
Schools can positively influence student motivation through:
• Varied and integrated instructional strategies and resources• An open and caring environment• A wide range of student supports
![Page 15: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
◦ Teachers should:
Encourage discussion of new ideas Relate new information to personal experiences encourage higher level critical thinking skills Engage students in problem solving Provide options in tasks Provide chances to rethink and revision Discuss goals and let students assist in some of them Give real-world opportunities to apply or adapt new
knowledge Cooperative groups
![Page 16: July 28, 2011 Nancy Nation & Mirna Whidden. What do you associate with the word assessment??](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc55503460f94ab82db/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Analyzing assessments should not discontinue after concluding assignments….
• Teachers should evaluate each assignment• Precisely understand the assessment results• Use the results effectively to design future
instruction to meet the individual needs of the students

Final thoughts……
Student benefits of self-assessment: ◦ accountability of the students to reflect on their work ◦ clarification◦ reasoning on the process they went through to complete
assignments◦ goal setting for their upcoming work
Formative assessment with classroom instruction can:◦ monitor effects◦ support results◦ diagnose knowledge◦ develop learning
Helps teachers determine:◦ whether learning is occurring◦ what areas are not being learned◦ what should be done as a result

Self-Reflection
To what extent are your assessment and grading practices consistent with
principles of good instruction??
To what extent will the student learning be enhanced?
