Formative assessment



1. I have been conferencing more with students to discuss strengths and weaknesses with their content knowledge and their process of learning and sharing. The anonymous voting and sharing provides a chance for me to revisit topics or lead discussions without singling out students. I also like the kids give each other feedback. We had a debate and students voted on the winner, citing why they chose the winning team. This gave the debate teams feedback like which arguments were most effective or who cited key facts.






2. The clickers engage students. I used the self-paced questions which naturally differentiated as some students sought out more in-depth answers and other students generated answers more quickly. Challenge - some answers do not always show up on the results from using the clickers.
