Workshop GoalsConsider how to purposefully incorporate formative assessment strategies
I2-WIS/WIMCCCR
to assess science understanding
Discuss implications for teaching

Scientific Thinking
• Ask reasonable questions• Generate testable explanations• Collect, represent and analyze
data• Interpret results• Use evidence to construct and
evaluate explanations• Communicate findings
![Page 4: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
So…How do you know if they can do all this?
Formative Assessment!
But…What, exactly, is
formative assessment?

Step 1: IdentifyWhat I See
• Identify any changes, trends, or differences
• Draw arrows, write a WIS comment for each arrow• Be concise• Just what can be observed• Do not explain meaning
![Page 16: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Step 2: InterpretWhat It Means
• Interpret the meaning of each WIS statement with a WIM comment
• Do not try to interpret the whole graph

What it means:The average temperature in the city increasesbetween Feb. and July.
What it means: The hottest average temperatures in the city happen in July. The city must be in the northern hemisphere.
What it means;The average temperaturein the city decreases between July and Dec.

Step 3: Caption• Write a caption for the graph.• Start with a topic sentence
that describes what the graph shows.
• Join each WIS with its WIM to make a sentence.
• Build a coherent paragraph from the sentences.

This graph shows the average temperature in a city over a year. There is an upward slope from Feb. to July, showing that there is an increase in the average temperature during these months.There is a downward slope from July to Dec., which means the average temperature decreases during this time. There is a peak in July, which shows the hottest average temperature in thecity happens in July. This peak also means that the city must be in the Northern Hemisphere.

Consider-Contribute-
Consult-Revise(CCCR) Strategy
![Page 24: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 1: ConsiderCompleted individually
• Select a variable that might affect rate of PSN
• Design an experiment to test your variable• Write in complete sentences• Sketches are clear with
labels
![Page 25: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 2: ContributeCompleted in pairs – choose someone from another group
Student A• Contribute your ideas
• Read your sentences aloud, word for word – don’t add any additional explanation
• Explain your sketches carefully, including labels
• Answer any questions• Watch partner for
signs of confusionPartners switch
Student B• Listen quietly• Ask questions to
understand your partner’s work
• Take notes about feedback to give your partner• Was everything
correct?• Was everything
clear?• Would an example
help?
![Page 26: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Step 3: ConsultCompleted in pairs
Student A
• Consult your partner to get feedback
• Listen to feedback• Ask questions about
the feedback• Carefully consider the
feedback
Partners switch
Student B
• Offer advice to improve your partner’s work
• Answer any questions your partner has
![Page 27: How Do You Know What They Know? Formative Assessment Strategies Cindy Gay Steamboat Springs HS Acacia McCombs NM School for the Arts Tamara Pennington](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/5697bf821a28abf838c85c88/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Step 4: ReviseCompleted individually
• Revise your work based on problems you discovered on your own
• Decide which partner advice was useful; include these ideas• use a different colored pen for
revisions• For feedback not leading to revision,
describe why you chose not to use it

your definition of formative assessment?
• How can they help determine student understanding?
• What are the implications for your teaching practice?
