SusZanti5 Sep 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

Question 1: #formativechat

theedpodcast Sep 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#formativechat A1: Summative assessments are just milestones on a longer journey. Use them to mark progress and to indicate where to go next

kmurfitt1 Sep 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A1: Stop worrying about nailing a grade on things and instead use assessments as a guide for teaching. #formativechat

MikeDOstilio Sep 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

#formativechat @hilbarron3 That's a fabulous way to certify learning

goformative Sep 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

Great idea! A summative can be another snapshot of learning for Ss to grow upon! #formativechat

heisterj Sep 11 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A1-By not putting a "grade" on them until Ss have self-assessed, read the feedback and reflected on their learning. #formativechat

DeniseRKane Sep 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1: sooo tough! W/ AP kids, we have our eyes on the AP exam prize. W/o a midterm or final, it's hard to keep kids motivated. #formativechat

upahk Sep 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1: Teaching is never "done." Summative assessments aren't the end of learning; they show what Ss can do at 1 point in time #formativechat

masso_jodi Sep 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

#formativechat #whitmanwtps Ss working in small groups take more chances to give answers then when assessed by themselves

SusZanti5 Sep 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

Yes! Cultivate a culture of reflecting- and giving and receiving feedback well! #formativechat

kispypniko Sep 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A1 formative use of summative assessment means using information from summative assessment to improve future Ss performance #formativechat

theedpodcast Sep 11 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#formativechat A1b: Ideally, I'd like to set up a course with a single product at the end; summative assessment would be like a "check-in"

SusZanti5 Sep 11 @ 7:40 PM EDT

Absolutely! #formativechat

A chance to reflect, and round it out with a chance to retake to show their #mastery! #formativechat

In reply to @MaddyLavoe

donald_gately Sep 11 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A1 If you believe that never too late to learn and demonstrate learning then Summative MUST also be formative assessment #formativechat

#formativechat A3: S's can act on feedback once they know that they are free to fail and do over; that their actions can make a difference

upahk Sep 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A3: Be real with Ss. If feedback is pointless or unhelpful, they won't act on it. Show them the meaning & purpose behind it. #formativechat

cooper1503 Sep 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A3 We have to teach them to use the feedback & give time to digest it. When Ss understand the critique process = #WIN #formativechat
