Ongoing Assessment and Feedback

Checking-in on Learning

Play the video to hear Alan discuss his unit plan and some of the ongoing assessment he used during this unit.

Alan mentions he is putting a greater emphasis on 'getting and giving feedback to students and that this is an area of his practice he is 'trying to improve'.

Are there areas of your practice that you are trying to improve? What are they?


Scroll through the two documents below to view the five questions selected for the class quiz and the summary data collated after the students had taken this quiz.

In the video earlier, Alan identified some gaps in student understanding using classroom observation and the data from this quiz, including students' understanding of the bar model and using decimals to increase and decrease a quantity.

After you look through the documents, think of a time from your own experience when you checked-in on student learning and consider these questions:


  • What prompted you to check-in?

  • How did you go about checking-in?

  • At what point(s) during this unit did you check-in?
