What makes FMS special?
We are out of the box learners who know how to have fun!
Formative Feedback comes in many forms!
Observation & Graphic Organizers
- Students create graphic organizers to demonstrate understanding of key concepts
- Teachers circulate and provide support as needed
Self Assessment & Response Logs
- The Falcon Playbook is used by students each week to graph progress in each subject.
- Response questions provide an opportunity for them to reflect on their goal for each class.
Exit Slips or Technology-based response systems
- Kahoot! is a fun way to wrap up the end of a lesson and review key concepts.
- Teachers use this as an opportunity to take a "temperature check" for student mastery and use findings to adjust plans for the following day.
Planned use of organizational supports help meet Academic Expectations while Engaging students
