Assessment & Feedback

Effective assessment is more than a measure of what students know, it is a window into how they are thinking and what they are ready to learn next. This page brings together practical resources for using formative assessment intentionally in the virtual classroom: from low-stakes check-ins and student self-reflection tools to strategies for turning assessment conversations into genuine dialogue. Please feel free to explore, adapt, and use whatever fits your students and your session.

Formative Assessment Strategies

Not sure where your students are in the middle of a session? This one-pager is here as a resource for check-for-understanding techniques that work in virtual settings, from chat waterfalls and exit tickets to cold calls with wait time.

Feedback That Moves Learning Forward

Feedback works best when it is specific, timely, and focused on the work, not the student. This one-pager is here as a resource that breaks down the characteristics of effective feedback, offers practical delivery tips for both verbal and written formats.

Feedback That Moves Learning

Using Assessment Data to Adjust Instruction

Using Data to Inform Differentiation

Assessment data is most useful when it informs what happens next. Please feel free to use this resource to learn more about reading patterns in student responses, making real-time instructional adjustments, and planning intentionally from one session to the next without needing formal data collection to get started.

Increasing Student Voice During Assessment Review

Going over answers doesn't have to be one-directional. Please feel free to use this one one-pager that offers discussion structures and prompting techniques that invite students to explain their thinking, build on each other's ideas, and expand their reasoning, turning answer review into an active learning conversation.
