We want that education by which character is formed,strength of mind is increased,
the intellect is expanded,and by which
one can stand on one's own feet.

What comes to mind when you think of “formative assessment”?
“Formative assessment” is not another gimmick in teaching; science teachers have been formatively assessing students since the inception of public education.

Your ice breaking activity theme was
an effort to introduce the
various probable Classroom
techniques .
Classroom techniques depend upon the types of learning styles.
Learning styles are simply different approaches or ways of learning
.

Types of learning styles
Visual Learners
Kinesthetic
Audio
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Visual Learners:Learn through seeing... need to see the teacher's body language and
facial expression to understand. prefer sitting at the front think in pictures and learn best from visual
displays including: diagrams, illustrated text books, overhead transparencies, videos, flipcharts and hand-outs.
during a lecture or discussion, visual learners often take detailed notes.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Auditory Learners:
learn through listening... learn best through verbal lectures,
discussions, talking things through and listening to what others have to say
written information may have little meaning until it is heard.
benefit from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder.AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Tactile / Kinesthetic Learners:
learn through , moving, doing & touching...
learn best through a hands-on activities and exploring the physical world around them.
They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.

Visual / Spatial Learners
Ability to see the visual. These people think in pictures and creating pictures in their head to help them remember information. Sometimes they enjoy looking at maps, charts, pictures, videos, and movies.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Includepuzzle building, reading, writing, understanding charts and graphs, a good sense of direction, sketching, painting, creating visual metaphors and analogies (perhaps through the visual arts), manipulating images, constructing, fixing, designing practical objects, interpreting visual images.

Verbal Learning
They use words and language. These learners have good hearing skills and normally are good at talking/speaking. They think in words rather than pictures.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Include
listening, speaking, writing, story telling, explaining, teaching, using humor, understanding the meaning of words, remember information, and can convince someone to see their point of view.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Logical/Mathematical Learning
Have the ability to use reason, logic (common sense) and numbers. These people think in patterns making connections between pieces of information. They are curious about the world around them, ask lots of questions, and like to do experiments.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Includeproblem solving,
classifying and categorizing information, working to figure out the relationship of objects to each other, doing controlled experiments, questioning and wondering about natural events, performing complex mathematical calculations, working with geometric shapes

Bodily/Kinesthetic Learning
ability to control body movements and handle objects well. Try to do things that involve movement. They have a good sense of balance and eye-hand co-ordination. (e.g. ball play, balancing beams). Through interacting with the space around them, they are able to remember and process information (hands-on).
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Include
dancing, sports, hands on experimentation, using body language, crafts, acting, miming, using their hands to create or build, expressing emotions through the body

Musical Learners
Can make and appreciate music. These learners think in sounds, rhythms and patterns. They immediately respond to music either appreciating or criticizing what they hear. Many of these learners are extremely sensitive to environmental sounds (e.g. crickets, bells, dripping taps).
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Includesinging, whistling, playing musical instruments, recognizing tonal patterns, composing music, remembering melodies, understanding the structure and rhythm of music

Interpersonal LearningCan relate and understand
others. These people try to see things from other people's point of view in order to understand how they think and feel. They often have a strange ability to sense feelings, intentions and motivations. They are great organizers. They try to keep peace in-group settings and want cooperation. The use of verbal (speaking) and non-verbal language (eye contact, body language) is used often
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills Includeseeing things from
other perspectives, listening, feeling bad for others in bad situations, understanding other people's moods and feelings, counseling, cooperating with groups, noticing people's moods, communicating both verbally and non-verbally, building trust, conflict resolution, create good relationships with others.

Intrapersonal Learners
These people reflect on their actions and know themselves very well. These learners try to understand their own feelings, dreams, relationships with others, and strengths and weaknesses.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Their Skills IncludeRecognizing their
own strengths and weaknesses, reflecting on and studying themselves, have awareness of their feelings, desires and dreams, evaluate their thinking patterns, understanding their role in relationship to others

The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by the classroom teacher to drive instruction and to improve learning for students.
Formative assessments help students identify their strengths and weaknesses while also providing important data for classroom teacher to address problems immediately with struggling students.
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
Formative Assessment in the Classroom
There are 5 key strategies that need to be aligned with classroom practices for effective use of Formative Assessment:
Clarifying, understanding, and sharing curriculum ideas
Engineering effective classroom discussions, tasks and activities that produce data/evidence for learning
Providing feedback that moves learners forward
Activating students learning through collaborative learning,
reciprocal teaching, and/or peer assessment
Activating students as owners of their own learning
AMEETA K. PGT CHEMISTRY ZIET Chandigarh
ConclusionThe effective classroom teacher drives
instruction through evidence/data gathered by purposeful formative assessments and differentiated activities.
It is the classroom teachers’ role to prepare and organize the content and curriculum to be presented ; it is also a teachers’ role to adjust instruction to accommodate students’ differences; and finally
All teachers must encourage and engage students in the learning process for deeper understanding of content .
