Let’s Get Acquainted
![Page 3: Welcome](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814df3550346895dbb5f61/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Today’s Agenda
• Understanding how assessment improves student learning• How teacher teams develop formative
assessments• How teachers link essential learning standards
with assessment items• How teachers use assessments to provide
interventions and enrichments3

On assessment…
With a partner, discuss these two questions:•What has been the traditional use of
assessment in schools?•How can assessment in classrooms
improve student learning?

The Big Ideas1. The fundamental purpose of
schools is to ensure that all students learn
With a partner, discuss these three components:
a. What is the difference?—”all students learn” v. “all students are taught”
b. If we accept learning as the fundamental purpose of our schools, are we willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on learning? What would that look like?
c. To ensure that all students will learn requires all teachers to be involved with all students in the school and not only with those in their classes. What would this look like?

The Five Big Questions
1. What is it we want all students to learn—by grade level, by course, and by unit of instruction?
2. How will we know when each student has learned—that is, has acquired the knowledge, skills, and dispositions deemed essential?
3. What are the best ways to teach what all students need to know and be able to do?
4. How will we respond when students experience initial difficulty in their learning?
5. How will we enrich and extend the learning for students who are already proficient?

The Big Ideas of a PLC
2. Helping all students learn requires a collaborative culture and a collective effort.
a. Teachers cultivate a collaborative culture through development of high performing teams in which they work interdependently to achieve high learning for all students.
b. Teachers work together rather than in isolation to address the five questions.

On Collaboration
Research suggests that the schools with the greatest student learning are those which do not isolate teachers, but instead encourage professional dialogue and collaboration. Teaching in effective schools is a collective, rather than individual enterprise (Freiberg and
Knight, 1987, p. 3).
![Page 11: Welcome](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814df3550346895dbb5f61/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Big Ideas
3. Teachers will be unable to monitor their effectiveness in helping all students learn unless they create a results orientation.
a. Teachers assess their effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions.
b. Individuals, teams, and schools seek relevant data and information and use that information to promote continuous improvement.
c. Teachers use formative assessments to improve their own teaching which, of course, leads to improved student learning.

Teachers also use results to identify students who are struggling.
In the past, the variable was student
learning and the constants were time
and support.
The right variables are time and support, and the constant is student
learning.

Teachers need to identify those students who already know it
• Too often, students who already know the concept or the skill are subjected to going through it over again.• Likewise, some students get the concept or
skill quickly and have to wait until others get it.• Teachers need to differentiate their
practices so that all students continue to progress.• Discuss as a group: Share a time when this happened to you.

Summative Assessments
Summative assessments, or high stakes tests and projects, are what the eagle eye of our profession is fixated on right now, so teachers often find themselves in the tough position of racing, racing, racing through curricula. 15
![Page 16: Welcome](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814df3550346895dbb5f61/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If we must use summative assessments, then we need to know how to help students perform better on these assessments.

Sometimes we have to slow down in order to go quickly.
• The only way to drive cattle fast is ….
….slowly

Losing Students—This We Know
• The fastest way to lose our students is to drive them too fast.• If teachers are not routinely checking for understanding then they are not in touch with students learning. •Perhaps students are already far, far behind. 18

Scenario
After an instructional lesson, the teacher asks :
"Are there any questions, students?"
Teacher pauses for three seconds. Silence.
"No? Okay, let's move on."
This kind of
assessment does
not help! 19

Formative Assessments
• Formative assessments are about checking “for understanding” and “for learning” in an effective way in order to guide teacher instruction. • They are used during instruction rather
than at the end of a unit or course of study. • Teachers use formative assessment to
improve and not just monitor and check on student learning 20
![Page 21: Welcome](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814df3550346895dbb5f61/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Teachers can use formative assessments to . . .
• identify student understanding, • clarify what comes next in their learning,• intervene for struggling students,• Improve instructional practices of teachers, • help students track their own progress toward attainment of
standards, • motivate students by building confidence in themselves as
learners, • fuel continuous improvements with teachers, and• drive a school’s improvement efforts 21
![Page 22: Welcome](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814df3550346895dbb5f61/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Formative assessments are not about ”gotcha-ing” students but about guiding where instruction needs to go next. Teachers should use them frequently, and when students learn a new idea, concept, or process.

Formative Assessment: A Process, Not a Test
Moreover, it is a planned process.

Maximizing Learning through Assessment
Formative assessment, done well, represents one of the most powerful instructional tools available to a teacher or a school for promoting student achievement.

A Conversation
Reflect as to your response to parents who ask this question:
“Your school says that it is committed to helping all students learn at high levels. What specifically happens at your school when a student does not learn?”

Teachers Also Need to Use Various Types of

multiple choice, true or false, matching)
Constructed-response assessment (response to open-ended questions: Short or long (e.g., fill in the blank, short answer, essay)
Performance assessment

To make strong assessments, teachers need to use . . .

Review: Formative Assessments Help Teachers Make These Choices
• Go on with the next lesson• Re-teach the previous lesson or part of it• Clarify some aspects that are not quite
understood• Intervene with certain groups or individuals• Offer enrichment or extensions to certain
groups or individuals
