6 Graphic Organizer for Personal Goal Setting and Feedback In the pre-assessment column, rate your current level of understanding regarding the purpose and use of HAPG components using 1 – 4 scale: 1.No knowledge of this or its use 2.Heard of it but don’t know much about it 3.Familiar with this and use it from time to time 4.Very familiar with this component and use it frequently for planning and instruction

Goal Setting Reflect on the Graphic Organizer Use Think-Pair-Share to share at least one personal strength and one growth opportunity related to the HISD Curriculum. Based on your reflection, write at least one learning goal for your work today. 7

Assessment Assessment FOR Learning Assessment OF Learning 30

31 Define “Assessment” Using Frayer Models

Research behind Formative Assessments: Research indicates that formative assess- ment can significantly improve student learning. Yet this same research shows that the features of formative assessment that affect student achievement are missing from many classrooms (Black et al., 2003). Black, P., C. Harrison, C. Lee, B. Marshall, and D. Wiliam. Assessment for Learning. New York: Open Univ. Press,
