Question to Consider

• After reading the section on assessment, think about your own classroom which form of assessment do you find yourself using most?
• Is there one form of assessment you could use more in your classroom? Which one? Is there one you use less? Which one? Why do you think you use that one less?
• How can we use visible thinking routines to improve your ability to assess your students understanding ?
• Some people claim formative assessments or checks for understanding - should not be graded. What do you think of this claim?
