Formative vs. Summative Assessment
![Page 5: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is the purpose of formative assessment?The goal of formative assessment is to m o nito r s tud e nt le a rning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning. More specifically, formative assessments:help students identify their strengths and weaknesses and target areas that need workhelp teachers recognize where students are struggling and address problems immediatelyFormative assessments are generally lo w s ta ke s , which means that they have low or no point value.

Formative Assessment Attributes Informal and continuous Ongoing through personal communications:
Questioning: try to question all students Observing: move around the room, have a room
chart and make notes Discussing: with the whole class, group, or
individual Writing: Quick Writes, Quick Draws, Exit Tickets,
etc.

Use data to create learner profiles"Teachers often do not start with "where children
are" but with the requirements of a predetermined, time-allocating curriculum."
The Culture o f The Scho o l a nd The Pro ble m o f Cha ng e -by Seymour B. Sarason
![Page 19: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Learner Profiles: 3 Components
1. Readiness
2. Interest
3. Learning Preferences
![Page 20: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Readiness is a student’s entry point relative to a particular understanding or skill. To help a student to grow, we must begin where the child is. Some children, particularly those who have had early learning opportunities, begin school with well-developed skills and considerable understanding of various topics; other students arrive as true beginners and need basic instruction and additional practice.
Interest refers to a child’s affinity, curiosity, or passion for a particular topic or skill. The advantage to grouping by interest is that it allows students to attach what they have been learning in class to things that they already find relevant and interesting and appealing in their own lives.
Learning profile has to do with how students learn. Some are visual learners, auditory learners, or kinesthetic learners. Students vary in the amount of time they need to master a skill or learn a concept.

Readiness:Begin with pre-assessment What do my students know before my
teaching begins? How will I pre-assess my students’ prior
knowledge and readiness levels? What does the information generated by my
pre-assessment tool tell me about my students’ entry points to learning the new information?

Learner Profile: Interest

Examples of addressing students’ interests
A biology teacher uses athletic teams, families and rock bands to illustrate symbiosis.
Students bring objects from home to illustrate symmetry.
Students may choose to create artistic expressions of a story, novel, or scientific concept.
Students may choose research topics related to culture, conflict, change, and interdependence during the American era known as Reconstruction.
![Page 25: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Learning Preferences
Administer learning style and/or multiple intelligence surveys.
Use a variety of entry points to introduce skills/concepts: auditory, visual, kinesthetic.
Incorporate music, drama, visual art, and movement.
Provide opportunities for students to choose their modes of learning.
Empower learners by helping them to identify their preferred learning modalities.

Guidelines for Developing Learner Profiles
Select a few learning profile categories to emphasize in the beginning.
Help your students reflect on their own preferences.
Be a student of your students. Learn about your students by asking what works for them.
Tomlinson, 2001
![Page 28: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is re-teaching?
Re-teaching is an opportunity to provide additional support to those students who still do not understand key skills and/or concepts in spite of attempts to support them.
![Page 29: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What do we re-teach?
Not everything being taught needs to be re-taught. Skills taught again in later units or “nice-to-knows” that are not essential to mastery may not be necessary.
Material that makes up a substantial part of the assessment content or skills requires remediation.
Skills/concepts that are critical to the next unit or later units of study must be remediated.
![Page 30: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Who do we re-teach?
Continuous analysis of formative data helps to determine which students have deficits in their learning.
Students who are close to mastery may require minimal re-teaching.
Some students may need intensive remediation.
Learner profiles help determine whether students struggle with context(test structure) rather than content/skills.
![Page 31: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Re-teaching strategies
Selecting effective remediation strategies requires that teachers find out as much as they can about why students are still struggling.
Students don’t have to be re-taught all the material; they probably have gaps in understanding that have prevented them from grasping key concepts.
![Page 32: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Use student reflection
Have students review first assessments to analyze errors.
Determine and present probable causes of error.
Determine how to prevent this error in the future.
Students should present an error analysis before they can be assessed again.
![Page 33: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Re-teach
Teach concepts the students don’t understand a different way.
Focus on only the key concepts and skills students need to know.
Re-teaching should occur shortly after a student’s assessment shows he/she did not understand the material.
Re-teaching should be different than regular instruction.
Re-teaching should not create “busy work” for students.
![Page 34: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Additional practice
Not drill and kill! Practice should focus on helping students
develop fluency and proficiency. Practice should be distributed over a period of
time. Use several sessions. Should be meaningful Should be short. Should have immediate feedback.
![Page 35: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Study habits
If student performance is due to poor learning habits, the remediation may need to focus on teaching these skills.
Work on learning strategies. Work on organization of notebooks, note-
taking strategies. Teach students how to use graphic
organizers. Allow students to retake the assessment after
they have applied these new strategies.
![Page 36: K. Adams, Canterbury Colloquium, assessment](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060121/55940fde1a28ab0b618b456b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Instructional strategies…
Must match students’ best learning styles. Should be active and student-centered. Should be collaborative. Should break information down into small
learning targets in order to teach small chunks at a time.
Re-teaching is not simply going over the material more slowly. It is teaching concepts in a different way.
