Eating+Out

=Eating Out = thoughts to ponder: What ARE formative assessments?

they provide.... **Non-threatening Results -** Formative assessments are scored but not graded. Students mark their own work and are encouraged to raise questions about the assessment and the material covered by the assessment.
 * Direct and Immediate Feedback-** Results of formative assessments are produced “on the spot;” teachers and students get them immediately. Teachers get a view of both individual and class performances while students learn how well they have done.
 * Structured Information -** Teachers can judge success and plan improvements based on the formative results. Students can see progress and experience success. Both teachers and students learn from the assessment results.
 * Ways to Improve -** Summarized formative results provide a basis for the teacher to re-visit topics in the unit if necessary. Individual student responses provide a basis for giving students additional experiences in areas where they performed less well. (Bloom, 1968)
