Descriptions
Formative assessment is critical for showing us what students have and have not learned. However, formative data does not always provide clear, actionable steps for determining where students are in their learning and how best to move learning forward.
One way to use formative data more effectively is in conjunction with a quality learning progression, a blueprint for how learning typically develops over time.
In these sessions we will examine how the use of learning progressions can maximize the instructional value of formative assessment data.
Thursday, May 5, 2022 (7:00 PM HKT)
Session 1 will examine how progressions connect daily learning targets with long-term expectations.
Thursday, May 12, 2022 (7:00 PM HKT)
Session 2 will demonstrate how progressions can help better monitor student progress and scaffold learning in grades K-5.
Thursday, May 19, 2022 (7:00 PM HKT)
Session 3 will focus on implementing rich formative assessment tasks.
Thursday, May 26, 2022 (7:00 PM HKT)
Session 4 will focus on high quality and evidence-based formative assessment and feedback strategies.
