  • Formative assessment has been described as the systematic process of gathering student evidence and providing feedback about how learning is progressing while instruction is underway

      good definition of formative asseseement.
  • This keynote will provide a framework for the rationale and development of formative assessment practices that will make instruction in Iowa secondary settings more focused and effective.

    The Iowa DE will be contracting with Margaret Heritage for formative assessment as the Iowa Core Curriculum is rolled out. This is a video of a keynote she gave at the 2008 Iowa HS Summit.

  • In schoolhouse lingo, I could only declare teachers and students 'absent' from the board of P21. And until that absence is rectified, the board will only symbolize the top-down old-fashioned 20th century style of management that's gotten us into so many of the problems that as a nation we currently face.

      I don't know a ton abou P21, but student centeredness is a facet of Iowa Core, and it should be for all of education in the 21st Century.
  • building collaborative partnerships between families, communities, and educators independent of any proprietary business interests.

      Collaboration is so key to the world our students will grow up in. I feel there is a mentality that collaboration = cheating with the kids I've learned with (and when I was in high school). It will be important to change the connotation of the word.

Great to have you as a part of the group, Jen! Your observation of educators' uncertainty about ICC seems to make sense. Will it be yet another initiative or will it be something that is sustaine...

    AEA9's links including PowerPoints and handouts on ICC and the 5 essential characteristics of instruction. Look at the modules on the left - these will be used statewide, from what I'm told.

    formative assessment resources to be used by DE/AEA to support districts.
  • Matt Townsley on 31 May 09
     
    Formative assessment articles that will be used by DE/AEA to support schools in developing understanding and implementation of ICC's 'assessment for learning' essential characteristic. **Many links aren't working; I have hard copies of articles. Some can be found by Googling, too. A good place to start, I guess.

      I think this is where Becky and I think standards-based reporting comes in. Get rid of the "mile wide and inch deep" mentality (at least in math...).
