More Than a Snapshot: Using Formative Assessment to Increase Student Learning
This document discusses formative assessment and how it can be used to increase student learning. It provides examples of formative assessment strategies such as note taking, goal setting, rubric checks, and quick writes. These strategies provide feedback to students on their progress and next steps. The document also discusses the importance of feedback and how not all feedback is useful. Effective formative assessment answers three key questions: where is the student going? how is the student doing? and where to next? When used properly, formative assessment can reduce gaps between current and desired performance.
