Formative February
An instructional look for for February is Formative Assessment.
Expectations for formative assessment include:
1. Team planned formative assessment indicated in lesson plans. Just as you plan learning targets, you plan the formative assessment.
2. Formative assessment is part of every lesson in reading math, science and VAS. While some formative assessment can be teacher observation, the vast majority of formative assessment should be a student work product. This makes our learning VISIBLE, sharable, assessable.
3. Teachers are recording formative information (see an example picture below). An example of this is having a formative assessment recording tool so that you can make notes about students who have mastered and students who have not mastered.
