A3: I've learned that Ss like it because it helps them know what they have and what they still need. #formativechat

AndreaKeenan13 Sep 4 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3- FA is an essential part of lessons & the time spent on them is necessary and critical for Ss achievement. #formativechat

I don't think so because it can be as simple as thumbs up and down to see who gets it. Overkill would be daily data tracking #formativechat

In reply to @LaRueKMurphy

BrysonBridget Sep 4 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3: that FA is not just for me. When I have that moment when the S looks at FA to determine own growth, I am on a good path #formativechat

BKd204Sci Sep 4 @ 7:54 PM EDT

This sums it up very well! #formativechat

LemarrTreadwell Sep 4 @ 7:54 PM EDT

Great point, Susan @SusZanti5. Without relevancy Ss won't learn new skills regardless of my FA. #formativechat

SusZanti5 Sep 4 @ 7:48 PM EDT
Not when you switch it up and make it relevant for S learning! #formativechat

  A1: Is it overkill to FA daily? #formativechat

alisonkis Sep 4 @ 7:54 PM EDT

Create a unit plan and design the learning experience will be a good start #formativechat

A2 How to make them more of an intentional piece of my unit routine #formativechat

tcondon2013 Sep 4 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A# When used to assist Ss learning it is the most effective tool available - used as trad quiz or summative - great failure!!!#formativechat

froehlichm Sep 4 @ 7:55 PM EDT

Yes. Not only parents, but some admins and teachers, too. #formativechat

yenneam Sep 4 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A2: How to turn the Titanic and convince parents that this is for instruction, not grades. #formativechat

SusZanti5 Sep 4 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A3: FA is not just an incredible learning tool for Ss-but one for TS-consistent FA drives teaching & learning! #formativechat

A3: FA can be used in fun ways that the kiddos don't even know they have been assessed. Hacking Learning on the sneaktip. #formativechat

kispypniko Sep 4 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A2 an optimal frequency for a balance of FA? What types of FA should I mix to be able to cater for Ss individual needs? #formativechat

LScumpieru Sep 4 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A3: FA will evolve with different Ss each period, each year, and with each new task. Evolving and learning for success. #formativechat

DMooreSpanish Sep 4 @ 7:51 PM EDT

Q3! #formativechat

LemarrTreadwell Sep 4 @ 7:56 PM EDT

Q2 What do you want to know about FA? #formativechat

NowakRo Sep 4 @ 7:58 PM EDT

Always told my HS kids...if I can't answer the WHY (b/c it's in the curriculum is not an answer), than we move on. #formativechat

Hearing a lot of the key words, found a wordle, love seeing the words that stand out FA #formativechat #formativeassessment

LemarrTreadwell Sep 4 @ 7:58 PM EDT

What is relevancy? Meaningful work. Authentic Resources, and Learning Connections. #formativechat

alisonkis Sep 4 @ 7:58 PM EDT

In reply to @SusanCast7

kispypniko Sep 4 @ 7:59 PM EDT

A3 Ss love FA if they see themselves as partners in learning, it makes learning collaborative #formativechat

froehlichm Sep 4 @ 7:59 PM EDT

A3 Ss need to be taught to find ways to assess themselves. Teach them to reflect/assess/adjust don't expect they know how #formativechat

LemarrTreadwell Sep 4 @ 7:59 PM EDT

Roman, suggest we keep it simple. Great point. #formativechat
