Formative Assessment Formative Assessment Where Am I Going? How Do I Close the Gap? Where Am I Now?

Formative Assessment - Group At your tables, discuss: What do you think the learning targets might have been for the red box activity for the group? How might Doyle have defined the criteria for success for the group for this activity? What skill(s) would she wish to observe that would indicate that the group was successful in offering and/or receiving compliments? What feedback did Doyle give the group? What other feedback might she have given? How should Doyle change or adjust instruction for the group? What might be the next steps for this activity?

Formative Assessment - Individual At your tables, discuss: What might be learning targets for TJ in the red box activity? How might Doyle have defined success for TJ in this activity? What did you see him do? What is his skill level in offering a peer a compliment? What feedback did Doyle give TJ? What other feedback might she have given him? How should Doyle change or adjust instruction for TJ? What should be TJ’s “next steps” -- or how could she scaffold TJ to the next skill level?
