Transition – Day Two
Synectics (Greek) means:
• Bringing together and diverse elements.
• Metaphorical problem solving process that promotes creative thinking.

Transition – Day Two
(Artifact) is like formative assessment because . . . .
• Create a synectic phrase for the artifact.
• Create a graphic representation to represent the synectic phrase.

A beach ball is like formative assessment because… it keeps you focused on student learning rather than bouncing around with your instruction.

Assessment for Learning• Story of Emily
• Scenario
• Review briefly the two writing samples (p. 7 and 8 in your book)
• Video clip of interview with Emily (also on your DVD).

Assessment for Learning
The story of Emily really brought home to me that if assessment is going to be a tool for learning, students need to:– know where they are going– know where they are now– know how to close the gap.
![Page 19: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Thinking About Assessment
80 percent of assessments given in classrooms are geared toward low-level thinking.
Decisions about assessment happen about every three to four minutes.
What do assessments tell us?
How are we using assessments to guide instruction?
![Page 23: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What Are You Assessing?
• As a team, complete the Assessment Matrix
• List all assessments: Summative and Formative
![Page 24: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Take time to discuss what your Body Of Evidence is based on and how your district determines which items to include.
What discussions will you take back to your school?
5 minutes
![Page 33: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Unpacking Standards• First and foremost, the student
has to be the center of everything in education.
• Students need to know the performance standards – CLEARLY!
![Page 34: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Students need to know what curriculum we are using to address each standard.
• Education needs a CONNECTION between standard, lesson and assessment PLUS the connection to real life.
![Page 35: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Assessment must be based on the benchmark.
•We teach what we value, and we test what we teach.
![Page 36: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Students need to understand what the assessment will be like in terms of content, skills and format.
• It’s hard to hit a target you can’t
SEE.
![Page 37: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• We must show kids what we want them to know prior to any instruction.
• Instruction is based on the curriculum.
• “Curriculum” does NOT mean “the textbook”.
![Page 38: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
•Assessments provide information for whom?
•Where do the results go?
![Page 39: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• The person most frequently omitted when we share assessment information is
WHOM?
![Page 40: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
–The Student !!!
![Page 41: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• In order for improvement to occur, students need to understand– why they are being assessed
and – what the results of the
assessment mean.
![Page 42: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
• Students need to understand that they are in school for a reason.
• We must connect lessons and assessments to the real world.
![Page 43: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Assessment is not a number in a grade book; an AYP score printed in the paper; or the determiner for Valedictorian.
• Assessment is for INFORMATION and FEEDBACK.
![Page 44: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
How else do kids know WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW?
![Page 45: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• Students need to compare the right answers to their answers and see where they went wrong.
• Assessments should not simply say “Right” or “Wrong” .
![Page 46: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Assessments shouldn’t tell kids, “You’re dumb today. You were
dumb yesterday. And you’ll probably be dumb tomorrow. But thanks for coming back.”
![Page 47: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• The most important point is that assessments are NOT for scores.
• ASSESSMENTS ARE TO HELP STUDENTS.
![Page 48: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
We need to decide what
the benchmark looks like in
terms of student work,
not just printed in a manual for
teachers.
![Page 49: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• We need to ask fewer questions that are better … not like the North Platte River – a mile wide and an inch deep, but like a segment of the oceanic Marianas Trench – 50 yards wide and 2 MILES deep.
![Page 50: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
What do we REALLY want to know?
![Page 51: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
• What’s actually at stake for students?
• Based on assessments, each will decide whether or not he or she is smart or not.
![Page 52: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• What’s actually at stake for teachers?
• Assessment drives instruction. The information sets out the map, the road before us.
![Page 53: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• No two teachers are alike.
• Each may teach multiple approaches to information and skills.
• HOWEVER, we all need to TEST the way PAWS does or test to fit the needs of the Body of Evidence.
![Page 54: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• Think of how we teach Drivers’ Education.
• We have: 1. Instruction - drivers’ manual 2. Practice - learning to drive 3. Assessment - drivers’ test
We know what a driver’s test means – so let’s look at some standards and benchmarks to see if we know what they mean.
![Page 55: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Standards

![Page 56: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
First, let’s look at this 6th grade standard. What does it mean?
• 6th grade Wyoming Reading Standard
“Students use the reading process to demonstrate understanding of literary and informational texts.”
![Page 57: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Teaching the Standard
…or not!
![Page 58: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
6th grade Wyoming Reading Standard
“Students use the reading process to demonstrate understanding of literary and informational texts.”
![Page 59: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
![Page 60: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Grade 7, Content Standard 1 - Reading
“Students use the reading process to demonstrate understanding of literary and informational texts.”
Then we look at benchmark II
“Students read and interpret a variety of literary genres.”
That defines it more -- let’s continue to (A)
“Students explain connections between setting, plot, theme, and characterization.”
![Page 61: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
(A)
“Students explain connections between setting, plot, theme, and characterization.”
•Define essential verbs (red)
•Define essential terms (blue)
•As you work through all of the standards, you need to have common definition s of verbs and terms -- sometimes agreement is difficult!
![Page 62: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
“Students explain connections between setting, plot, theme, and characterization.”
•Verbs:
•Explain – clarify in writing and/or speaking
•Between - between
•Terms
•Connections – links in writing and/or speaking
•Setting - when and where the event takes place based on context clues
•Plot – how the story is put together
•Theme – the author’s message
•Characterization – descriptions, speech, thoughts and actions of the characters.
Handout
![Page 63: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Next, you write the benchmark as the “teacher” would say it, then as the “student” would actually say it.
If we’re looking at formative assessment, all parties have to agree on what the student needs to learn, especially the student.
![Page 64: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Teacher Speak: Students are able to explain (clarify in writing and/or speaking) connections (links) between setting (when and where the story takes place), plot (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and conflict resolution), theme (the author’s message), and characterization (descriptions, speech, thoughts and actions of the characters).
Teacher Speak: Students are able to clarify links between setting, plot, theme, and characterization.
![Page 65: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Student speak:I can clarify in writing and/or speaking, links between:
• when and where the story takes place, • how the story is put together• the author’s message• how characters look, talk, think, and act.
![Page 66: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
In teams of 2 or 3 at your table:1.Select a benchmark:
1. Reading (3, 8, 11)2. Math (3, 8, 11)
2.Identify the verb(s) in the benchmark. (Tip: Use a highlighter (red/pink)Handout: Key Verbs Handout
3. Identify the noun(s) that need defining in the benchmark.
(Tip: Use a highlighter (blue) to mark terms that need clarifying.) 8 minutes

Unpacking Considerations
As districts/schools begin the unpacking process, you may wish to consider the following:
• grade level consensus• K-12 alignment• curricular impact• resource allocations• assessment implications
![Page 69: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Table DiscussionShare unpacked version with larger
group at your table.• If it’s done in your district, you
would share with other grade levels and look at alignment.
• Complete Unpacking Benchmarks – Discussion guide
• Discuss how the benchmarks and definitions relate to your district’s Body of Evidence.
10 minutes
![Page 70: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
• You can start a new unit.• You can search units
– By your district,– By your state– Worldwide
• Let’s take a 6th grade geometry benchmark:– “Students communicate the reasoning used in
identifying geometric relationships in problem-solving situations appropriate to grade level.”
Viewing lessons from around the world serves as a springboard for your lessons to help each student that you work with.
![Page 71: Formative Assessment Institute](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062801/5681436b550346895dafeb69/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• After selecting a unit to work from (or creating your own from scratch), you can:
