“An assessment functions formatively to the extent that evidence about student achievement is elicited, interpreted, and used by teachers, learners, or their peers, to make decisions about the next steps in instruction that are likely to be better, or better founded, than the decisions they would have taken in the absence of the evidence that was elicited.”

Drilling Down To Deeper Understanding
Collecting information about student thinking / understanding in relation to specific learning goals
Interpreting information that helps to hone in on essential learning needs to address
Acting with purpose based on what was learned from the information collected and actively involving students in the process.

Read the first two of the Five Key strategies. (Clarifying, sharing and understanding goals for learning and criteria for success with learners and Engineering effective classroom discussions, questions, activities, and tasks that elicit evidence of students’ understanding)
•What connections to the learning cycle do you see?
•What ideas might be important when constructing tasks to assess student understanding?

Gather
How much have my students learned of what I have taught?
Evaluate
How many have “got it”? Did enough of them get it so I can move on or do I need to slow down?
React
Do I re-teach to the entire class or assign a review to a few? How can I teach more effectively next time?
Typical Cycle

Collect
What and how are my students learning in relation to the learning goal?
Interpret
What are the strengths & problematic aspects of their thinking? What do they need next to deepen their learning?
Act
What learning experience, or feedback will address the needs I just identified?
Rare but effective cycle

Collecting with Intention
What are the relevant learning goals? What specific knowledge am I targeting?What student responses do I anticipate?

What makes a good assessment task?
![Page 14: How can we collect relevant evidence of student understanding?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d0c5503460f949e1179/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
For each task consider:•What evidence about student understanding of the topic did the assessment elicit?
• Can you tell from the task whether student understood the topic?
• Did the evidence give you actionable information, did it tell you WHY and What they didn’t understand?

Generate Artifacts/ Evidence of Learning (Assessment)Students demonstrate their current thinking or skill level by participating in small group and large group discussions, creating a concept sketch, lab report, class presentation, written report, solved problems, performance, or other artifacts.Teachers and students provide useful feedback based on clear success criteria.
