A1- Ps should know what it means to be formative, what a LT is and how their child will be assessed. Same as all Ss. #formativechat

LScumpieru Aug 21 @ 7:38 PM EDT

So true. Parents need to know that FA is not the final test, but a process - steps and checks. #formativechat

Yes. I do try to get as many guardian e-mails as I can and Ps can see assignments and communicate with me. Great resource. #formativechat

heisterj Aug 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

GC allows you to invite Ps just like Ss. Great way to easily comm with Ps since summaries are generated automatically by GC #formativechat

I've had questions about if it counts as a grade, how do I use the info to plan lesson, help each Student #formativechat

DMooreSpanish Aug 21 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3 they may not understand that FAs dont get grades. Grades are like currency to some #formativechat

kispypniko Aug 21 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3 common misconception between assessment of and for learning, fear of failing, neglected the guidance and feedback #formativechat

MrPRichey Aug 21 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3: S does well and has more before a summative assessment. I explain that we need to ensure mastery, not a one time got it. #formativechat

LScumpieru Aug 21 @ 7:54 PM EDT

So true. Many parents are truly about the grades and the shift has to be about the learning. #formativechat

A3: We have to show our students the purpose of formative asssssments, but we must also do this for parents. We are a team! #formativechat

heisterj Aug 21 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A3-Ps can sometimes think mistakes on FAs mean doom & gloom on summatives. We need to let Ps know it is part of learning. #formativechat
