Effective formative assessment involves collecting evidence about how student learning is progressing during the course of instruction so that necessary instructional adjustments can be made to close the gap between students’ current understanding and the desired goals.

  This says it all. How many times do teachers check for understanding along the way and then just keep rolling through the lesson, ignoring the fact that some kids are missing something. Does no good to check for understanding as you go if you do nothing when the data says not everyone gets it yet.

Because the formative assessment process helps students achieve intended learning outcomes based on explicit learning progressions, teachers must first identify and then communicate the instructional goal to students.

  Over the past few years we have worked on this during our PD. Goals are written on our boards and we refer to them often.

“The instructor’s comments on papers and tests are done after rather than before the writing, so they cannot serve as guidelines, compromising the value of writing comments at all.”
- Pam Rust on 27 Jan 13
  
  Conveying expectations before starting an assignment helps the student focus as they are completing the assignment. Comments at the end of a paper are useless unless students are allowed to fix their paper after reading the comments. Not sure if the students learn much if they don't get feedback along the way so the final product can be a quality product.

  How do we get our students to care when taking these tests (i.e. Iowa Assessments) so we can truly monitor their knowledge?
