A1: Not sure if I could remember my best assessment, but I am pretty sure it was not a paper-pencil one...#formativechat

hpitler Jul 25 @ 7:05 PM EDT

A1: Without doubt, the worst assessment was the ITBS when I was in HS. It just didn't matter and didn't change instruction. #formativechat

Hi,Ylonka from Dominican Republic. A1 best assessment open ended questions, reflections #formativechat

RoweRikW Jul 25 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A1 - Our worst assessment is a Summative Assessment (Final) that is merely graded and provides no feedback to our Students. #FormativeChat

aeyork Jul 25 @ 7:07 PM EDT

@hpitler Great reasons to consider it not a good assessment. #formativechat

RewardingEdu Jul 25 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A1 Best informal assessment was asking Ss the 4 most important things they needed from their parents & teachers. Enlightening #formativechat

RoweRikW Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1 - Our worst assessments are those administered to Students who are not ready to demonstrate their understanding. #FormativeChat #Delay

BillBlackRI Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1 - Best assessments are when students are highly involved in criteria as well as feedback. LOVE THAT! #formativechat

ShaunDepd Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

aeyork Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

Interesting theme that many of us dislike standardized assessment as stu and teach b/c of no feedback, instructional outcome #formativechat

RoweRikW Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1: Some of my best assessments are the ones that have nothing to do with academics but rather with character! #formativechat

Dina0Brien Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1 one of worst is when you do all hands on, PBL, and application...and then assess on a computer #formativechat

cathybox Jul 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1: The best assessments provide evidence to move the learning forward. Individualized, measurable, can be self-assessed #formativechat

ajspinali104 Jul 25 @ 7:10 PM EDT

Best assessments I've ever taken don't feel like assessments because they're meaningful and you actually learn from them #formativechat

RoweRikW Jul 25 @ 7:10 PM EDT

A1 - Assessments in line with the UDL framework are flexible, ongoing, meaningful and allow for learner variability. #FormativeChat #udlchat

MrPRichey Jul 25 @ 7:10 PM EDT

@magistrazee yet we still make so many decisions about a student, teacher, school, district by these...#formativechat

A1 all assessments should strive to give Ss and Ts real time data/feedback #formativechat
