Before instruction... How do you find out what your students know? What do you do with that information? During instruction... How do you track student progress? What do you do with that information? After instruction... How do you determine what students have learned? What do you do with that information?

Formative vs. Summative Assessments Summative ● Assessment of learning ● Used to assign a grade ● After instruction ● Autopsy Formative ● Assessment for learning ● Used to drive instruction ● Ongoing ● Check-Up

What are formative assessments? Formative assessments are… ● Ongoing ● Informative ● Based on student learning outcomes ● For students, teachers, and parents ● Formal or informal ● Designed to drive instruction Examples: ● Exit ticket / Ticket out the door ● Thumbs up or down ● Pre-test ● Progress monitoring

Whether an assessment is formative or summative depends on what the teacher does afterwards!!

Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy ● Pay attention not just to content of each standard but also to the verbs ● Verbs tell you what students need to be able to do with the content Verbs ● Types of Knowledge and Cognitive Processes Types of Knowledge Cognitive Processes ● A helpful process: Taxonomy tableTaxonomy table ● 7.SP.8c - Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.

Assessment Planning ● Assessment planning templatetemplate ● Think about: ● What type of knowledge and cognitive process are required? ● What are the key concepts and big ideas? ● What essential questions will help you and your students focus on the key concepts and big ideas? ● Create daily and weekly formative assessment items and final summative assessment items
