+ Assessment For Learning: Diagnostic Formative feedback – rather than evaluative Part of everyday teaching - ongoing For the teacher -gathering information about student learning to help make instructional decisions For the student - informs them about their learning

+ Effective Feedback is: Descriptive rather than evaluative—feedback should identify what the student is doing well and what needs improvement and, most crucially, provide next steps to guide the student on how to improve Focused—on the learning goals and the success criteria. Limited—to a few traits or characteristics of student performance. it is tempting to point out all the areas where improvement is needed; however, feedback is more likely to improve learning when it is focused on a few priorities. Timely—that is, offered “just in time” and at regular intervals to support students in continuously monitoring their progress toward a learning goal. Implemented by students and monitored by the teacher— students are expected to act on the feedback. This means that they must be provided time and opportunities to respond with teacher support and that teachers need to follow up on the students’ responses.

+ Assessment As Learning: Metacognition- awareness of one’s own learning Self Assessment & Peer Assessment Watch video – Segment 5: Setting Learning Goals Once students have learned to recognize, describe, and apply success criteria, they can use their peer and self assessment to plan next steps– Segment 5: Setting Learning Goals To make classroom assessment work, students must know explicitly what they are learning, what it looks like when they have learned, what and how to improve, how to assess their work, and ultimately take specific next steps to improve. Students constantly monitor and self-regulate their learning by: Making adjustments about their knowledge and skills Self-reflecting about what they read, hear, and do Source: _VideoSeries_Transcript.pdfhttp:// _VideoSeries_Transcript.pdf

+ Assessment As Learning: The Self Assessment Process The self-assessment process requires students to: Identify what they must learn (Learning Goals & Success Criteria) Know what success looks like (e.g., Review anchor charts, exemplars) Learn how to apply the criteria Give and receive feedback on their self-assessments – I statements Use self-assessments to plan next steps Use self-assessments to set their own learning goals Source: eoSeries_Transcript.pdfhttp:// eoSeries_Transcript.pdf
