Key points…• Periodic, SHORT assessments• Collaboratively
designed• Pre- and post-• Should represent

Key points…• Combinations of
test-type questions including:
Selected-response and constructed-response• Results analyzed in DATA TEAMS/PLC’s to guide instruction

What are the benefits of CFAs?
• Regular feedback aligned with the most important standards allowing teachers to adjust instruction to meet the diverse needs of the students
• Ongoing collaboration with teachers in order to determine strategies that will lead to success for all students
“Team-developed common
formative assessments are more
efficient, more equitable, more
effective in monitoring and
improving student learning, can
improve and inform the practices of
individual teachers and teams, and
are essential to systematic
interventions.”
-Eaker, Dufour, &
Dufour, 2007

What are the benefits of CFAs?
• Consistency in expectations across the grade level• Agreed on expectations for different levels of proficiency• Deliberate alignment of classroom, school, district and state assessments to better prepare students for success on state assessments.

Why should we use CFAs?
“The true purpose of
assessment must be, first
and foremost, to inform
instructional decision
making.”
~ L. Ainsworth and D. Viegut, Common
Formative Assessments, 2006, p. 21
How do we create them?
![Page 10: Common formative assessments -sope creek](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5478b785b4af9f5d348b4591/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
“It is critical that all of the assessed standardsbe truly significant. From an instructionalperspective, it is better for tests to measure ahandful of powerful skills accurately than it isfor tests to do an inaccurate job of measuringmany skills.”
~ W. J. Popham, Test Better, Teach Better, 2003, p. 143
1. Pick an essential standard.
![Page 11: Common formative assessments -sope creek](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061201/5478b785b4af9f5d348b4591/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2. Unwrap the standard collaboratively. Divide
it into knowledge and skills.
3. Determine what type of questions you want to
use and how many.
