TransFormative Assessment Reading Reflection

• Chapter 1: Definition– Formative assessment is a process used by teachers

and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve student’s achievement of intended instructional outcomes. Pg 5

– Formative assessment is a planned process in which assessment-elicited evidence of students’ status is used by teachers to adjust their ongoing instructional procedures or by students to adjust their current learning tactics. Pg 6

Sharing / AssignmentsYou can start your story at any point in the cycle

it just needs to include details on how it fits into the Formative Assessment Cycle.

• These are the formats you will report in– Write a Story of what you did.– Create a Power Point of what you did.– Create a Poster

INCORRECTa2+b2 = c2

122+142 = x2

144 + 196 = x2

340= x2

18.44 = x

CORRECTa2+b2 = c2

122+x2 = 142

Formative Assessment cycle

A Formative assessment cycle involves:1. Teaching a lesson to achieve

objectives. The lesson includes a planned assessment to check if the objective has been learned.

2. Assessment data is gathered and analyzed by both the teacher and the student. Adjustments are made

Course/Workshop

Overview

Break

• I need to meet briefly with anyone taking the class for credit.

Matt Militello•Review of PIMSE- GK12 Evaluation

PIMSE Expectations 1

• Develop a classroom routine that incorporates ASSISTment and the fellows teaching. This will be highly personalized.– Example: Fellow works with students who do not demonstrate

understanding of the learning goals.– Example: Fellows work with students who do demonstrate

understanding of the learning goals.– Example: Fellows teach a lesson in response to data collected that

hour or for homework. • Each team of teacher and fellow will determine

which classes he or she will work with on a regular basis.

PIMSE Expectations 2

• Teachers and Fellows will meet to plan the lesson for the day. Either that morning or a previous day.

• Fellows will report on the meeting and the lesson in a per-visit log.

• Teachers will observe the fellows teaching once a month to help them reflect on their teaching.

• Twice in the year there will be a videotaped formal observation.

• Fellow will give an interactive presentation of their work to the students.

Discuss and Share

• Start a thread on the PIMSE Google Forum

• Add as much detail as possible about your plan for using ASSISTments in class and how your Fellow will be a part of this

• Then you will each get 5 minutes to share • the order will come from the WIKI.

Lesson, screen shots• Add a screen shot to the forum!! Just for fun

• I need photos of:– Sandy Denny, – Megan Gerstenzang and– Lynn Sullivan– Josh Bodha
