  • mctownsley Jan 11 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1) I think if I am doing it well, all classroom assessment would be formative: administered to guide next instructional steps. #sblchat
  • CoachLesterBHS Jan 11 @ 9:07 PM EST
    A1- Inform instruction and as much feedback as possible. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Jan 11 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 The purpose of formative assessment is practice. Students need to practice w/out the influence of points, scores, and grades. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Jan 11 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 - Our Learners see Formative Assessments (FAs) as the opportunity to practice, get feedback, and learn through challenges. #sblchat

    In reply to @kenoc7

    A1 FA allows Ss to see learning as an ongoing process, receive specific feedback to grow, and grow beyond a one shot assignment. #sblchat

  • RoweRikW Jan 11 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 - Formative Assessments (FAs) offer the opportunity to close the gap and narrow in on our learning target or Standard. #sblchat
  • kenoc7 Jan 11 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1 Assessment for “forwarding” learning - gives information for adjustments by teachers and students. NO SCORES. #sblchat

      Couldn't it be a formal portrait, a moment in time? SA=portrait, FA=snapshots? #sblchat

    I created my FA, our SA came from district/state. "You've proven you can do it here (FA), now show you can do it anywhere. (SA)" #sblchat
