Students will complete checklists in order to reflect on where they think they are in the unit. This would be a formal assessment of if a student has grasped the topic, and will give them a chance to select whether or not they comprehend the topic. Students will be able to use this as an opportunity to let the teacher know what they may or may not have understood, allowing us as teachers to restructure future lesson plans. This would be a qualitative data collection because it allows teacher to see where the student believes they are without being graded on specific data questions.

Give each student a question to answer that targets the big idea of the lesson, and have them answer with a sentence or two. Collect them as they leave.

This can be either formal or informal formative assessment depending on how you are using it.
