Overview of Formative Assessment in NC Sarah McManus, Ph.D. Director, Learning Systems September 18, 2013

The central focus of READY is improving every student’s learning... …and enabling and ensuring great teaching is how we get there.

“Students interpret the feedback we give them to decide whether they have hope of future success, whether the learning is worth the energy it will take to attain it, and whether to keep trying. If students conclude that there is no hope, it doesn’t matter what the adults decide. Learning stops.” - Dr. Richard Stiggins, Five Myths and Their Consequences

Research Related to Formative Assessment Increase in meta-cognitive skills Increase in motivation Increase in self-efficacy Increase in learning Decrease in the achievement gap

Establishing Clear Learning Targets

Criteria for Success Where am I going?

Collecting Evidence Where am I now?

The documentation should reflect the learning adequately and appropriately. The documented evidence of learning should provide enough information to make sound decisions that inform instruction and improve student learning. Possible strategies for documenting evidence: Documenting Evidence

Frequently feedback is used to push students to “do more” or to “do better,” without being specific enough to help students know what to do. This type of feedback is generally ineffective.
