    I totally agree! @Goformative has been a game changer on how I view students “getting it”. I want Ss to apply their knowledge in new ways. #formativechat

    agreed! Welcome Susan :) #formativechat
    In reply to @SusZanti5
  • SusZanti5 Mar 12 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    A1: My calendar! But more importantly, I have a conferencing conversation & provide feedback of classroom visits within hours #formativechat
  • Kareemfarah23 Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1: Transitioning from lectures to videos reshaped the way I approach time management. I now spend much of my class time grading and providing immediate feedback for revisions and reassessment. If grading is not for feedback it loses value and becomes a burden. #formativechat
  • MeaganBaltes Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1: My time management strategy that I am beginning to use for feedback is trying to incorporate more technology into my teaching and assessments so I can give instant or quick feedback! #formativechat
  • LScumpieru Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1: I also don’t give true scores for formative assessment, I give points for taking it and trying one’s best. FA is practice before the big test. #formativechat
  • LaurenPorosoff Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1 I try to give feedback within two weeks, but since my feedback says back what seems important to the student and then gives suggestions for future writing, what matters most is getting it to them to use while working on the next assignment. #formativechat

    A1. Feedback is ongoing. Ss get verbal feedback after mini lessons and written feedback on written assignments and in their work folders daily. If I’m observing/ conferencing I take notes to guide my instruction. #formativechat
  • Rdene915 - Moderator Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT

    A1: while Ss are working, I will also take Ss aside and have a quick chat with them. #formativechat
  • DavidJLockett Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1. Feedback is the key to growth. SS need to know whether their understanding is on target. #formativechat
  • mathmrsdeluca Mar 12 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A1: following an entrance card or exit card I have made a do now within the next two days as a reflection time to analyze their errors or create error analysis questions based upon my favorite errors made! Awesome collaboration and reflection goes on! #formativechat

    Hi Meagan were excited too looking forward to learning from your thoughts too. #formativechat
  • dbuckedu Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1: Ss compose reflection that indicates where they want feedback. Use a rubric and accompanying screencast video that explains my use of the criteria. Digital annotations on first page only -- global comments thereafter. #formativechat
  • timlriley Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1. I’ve thought of this as time management #formativechat
    In reply to @LScumpieru, @goformative
  • cooper1503 Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1 I think it depends on the assignment/etc... In class, feedback is immediate and checked and followed by feedback in an interativecycle almost immediately. Long term assignments, etc.. are check ins on a schedule that allows flexinbilty and growth #FormativeChat
  • JodiMos Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    This is great! I’m sure your students get so much from all the FB they’re receiving #formativechat
    In reply to @cclark421
  • DavidJLockett Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1. I usually look for productive timely starters like: What if, I notice, I like.. #formativechat
  • Rdene915 - Moderator Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1 It depends on what I am using, or what info I am looking for. I have always wanted to have the feedback fast for my Ss, so having #edtech tools to help is great, but love the conversations one-to-one #formativechat
    In reply to @vendi55, @goformative
  • MsJdickinson Mar 12 @ 7:37 PM EDT
    A1: I try to give feedback as the students are working, but I am weak when it comes to getting written labs back timely. #formativechat

  • LaurenPorosoff Mar 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    A1 I also conference with every student every day during the course of a writing project to help them notice where they are, choose for themselves what will work, notice the impact of that choice, and choose again. #formativechat
  • loliveira55 Mar 12 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    A1 I give timely feedback by using formative assessments that are short & easy to respond to. Tech helps. For example @onenote where I can respond to students’ dialogue journals & other assignments. Use @flipgrid where I can give a quick video feedback response. #formativechat
  • Rdene915 - Moderator Mar 12 @ 7:39 PM EDT
    @goformative has been amazing for having data fast, for Ss to see it and for us to discuss it, so many ways to ask Qs, have Ss interact, so helpful for moving forward #formativechat

    Love that you said this FA is not just something to keep Ss busy taking in the data and formulating strategies to best help our Ss is where the magic is. #formativechat
    • LScumpieru Mar 12 @ 7:33 PM EDT
      A1: If Ss do an FA, the T is either giving feedback during the assessment, or taking notes on what they need. #formativechat

    Use personal conferences to provide timely, authentic feedback. Replace the asynchronous assessment with a synchronous conversation. #formativechat

    This sounds like a great strategy! #formativechat
    In reply to @mathmrsdeluca
  • goformative Mar 12 @ 7:40 PM EDT
    We love this strategy for providing timely feedback! It starts with planning the assessment itself and considering the student data that will be collected! #formativechat

    A1 immediate verbal peer and instructional feedback with @goformative and traffic lights, exit tickets, 2 stars and a wish and the use of rubrics and checklists #formativechat
  • ITeachEnglish97 Mar 12 @ 7:40 PM EDT
    A1: I think feedback should be given during every class period, after every lesson, even if it is just verbal acknowledgement of what the Ss have done. Ts should also schedule out time to decide what the purpose of the feedback is before giving it. #formativechat
  • dbuckedu Mar 12 @ 7:40 PM EDT
    Ss have agency over the feedback. Found that Ss have different preferences for receiving and processing feedback. #formativechat

    Hello Rachelle @Rdene915 #formativechat happy Monday!
  • ChouinardJahant Mar 12 @ 7:41 PM EDT
    A1 #FormativeChat My main goal is that feedback for my Ss is consistent, meaningful and timely. I use 1-minute check ins weekly to talk to every student- I like to make a verbal feedback at least twice a week. I also make some purposeful reminders in their journals for guidance.

    Out of curiosity, how long will it take? Currently we found conferencing takes a long time. One strategy we try to do is to limit the conference time. #formativechat
    In reply to @LaurenPorosoff
  • vendi55 Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    A2 - When using @goformative they get a lot of instant feedback from from the program to see where they need to work on so they can do the formative for mastery, write down qs they struggled with, and submit questions they got to be included in future assessments #formativechat
  • JodiMos Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    Q2 How are your students interacting with their feedback? Share strategies you've used/seen! #formativechat
  • ITeachEnglish97 Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT

    In reply to @DMooreSpanish, @KidblogDotOrg
  • LScumpieru Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    A2: A lot of my Ss see that they have a question incorrect in @goformative and go back and redo their answer. I leave all formatives open for edits. #formativechat
  • noel_hoffmann Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    A1: I discuss answers with the students in class as much as possible so that they are not waiting for my response. Also, incorporating tech. as often as possible helps. #formativechat
  • vendi55 Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    Have you tried to do a lab and use @goformative as your reporting tool? #formativechat

  • alisonkis Mar 12 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    A1. One simple strategy is to teach students the language of the feedback. Assessment literacy is is essential. #FormativeChat
  • SusZanti5 Mar 12 @ 7:43 PM EDT
    A2: Ask students to do a reflection of the process of FA & how it helps them learn, various forms of reflections, more FA! #formativechat
  • LScumpieru Mar 12 @ 7:43 PM EDT
    I love using @KidblogDotOrg. My students use it for Passion Blogs, but you’ve given me an idea… #formativechat
  • DanKos3 Mar 12 @ 7:43 PM EDT
    A1. Dan from Wisconsin. I use a flipped and mastery model where kids do a lot of in class learning with guidance so it allows me ample time to provide real time feedback when ?s arise or there are gaps in understanding. Very little grading #formativechat

    A3: Having students graph their score/feedback lends itself well to goal setting and is a wonderful way to infuse #STEM across content areas #formativechat
  • dbuckedu Mar 12 @ 7:56 PM EDT
    And this will help them in so many areas where critical thinking is necessary. Ex: analysis of literature that goes beyond "this is a good poem." #formativechat
    • NAEmmanuele Mar 12 @ 7:53 PM EDT
      This is a constant lesson I’m teaching; I ask my students not to ask, “Is this good?” but to come to me with specific questions on their work. This show’s intention and can develop actionable feedback

    Q3: I used Can Do statements that help students know what they can do/ should be able to do by the end of the unit. It helps students realize they need to hit certain targets so they can measure their own progress. #formativechat

    A3 I like to talk with Ss about what they think they can spend time on, their struggles and come up with some ideas together, then let them set new goals, be avail to support #formativechat
  • noel_hoffmann Mar 12 @ 7:56 PM EDT
    I agree. It shows that they are thinking intentionally about their essay, be it the justification or the elaboration, etc. When they just ask "Is this good," they aren't thinking critically about what they wrote. They seem to want you to fix it for them. #formativechat

    Most Ss need and want a little structure and see where they are going. Backwards by Design is a great strategy for that. #formativechat
    • ejmteacher Mar 12 @ 7:53 PM EDT
      A3: Tying feedback/formative assessments clearly back to the learning goal creates natural opportunity for Ss to goal set. If they can see alignment between your assessment and ultimate endgame, goal is clear. #formativechat
  • cooper1503 Mar 12 @ 7:57 PM EDT
    A3 Model it early and often. Teach them to interate and help them to see what they need but don't do it for them! #FormativeChat
  • cclark421 Mar 12 @ 7:57 PM EDT
    A3. We set SMART goals together based on where they are and where they want to be as learners. When Ss accomplish their goals they post it on our goal wall and get to wear our veni vidi vici necklace #formativechat

  • ChouinardJahant Mar 12 @ 7:58 PM EDT
    I believe in my heart that if we have built a safe haven for learning and Ss feel they are a community-they seek feedback and reflect frequently, because they will stay determined to grow and help one another. A studen-centered classroom lends itself to this. #formativechat
  • alisonkis Mar 12 @ 7:58 PM EDT
    A3 in this process, students must have ideas of how what strategies they could use to move them forward. #FormativeChat

    I love this comment because sometimes as Ts we expect our Ss to try new things or take a risk but sometimes we don't practice what we preach. What are we scared of????? #formativechat
    • davidwkwan - Moderator Mar 12 @ 7:53 PM EDT
      A3: I think this starts with giving students greater ownership over formative assessment as a whole. If we release some of the responsibility it may be easier for students to think about it in the context of what they want to achieve. #formativechat
  • dbuckedu Mar 12 @ 7:58 PM EDT
    Goals can originate from "where I've been, where I am now, and where do I want to go" questions. Deep learning occurs when Ss possess clear goals for their learning and a plan to get there. #formativechat
  • davidwkwan - Moderator Mar 12 @ 7:59 PM EDT
    Agreed! In their research, our Certified Educators'(@alisonkis @vendi55 @JodiMos ) found that some see formative assessment as solely a teaching practice. If we can show students the roles they can play, we can help them think metacognitively ! #formativechat

  • DanKos3 Mar 12 @ 8:00 PM EDT

    Even the simple task of making bigger connections with vocabulary can be reflection and give instant feedback- when Ss understand the ‘big picture’ they put the puzzle pieces together and if they don’t fit- group feedback- collaborative reflection #formativechat

    Love this ---> @dbuckedu "where I've been (feedback), where I am now (feedthrough), and where do I want to go (feedforward)" questions. Formative assessment is more than looking at past work -- it is the process and deciding on next steps. #formativechat
