The formative evaluation helps us to know the academic and skill levels of students. And as a follow-up, we modify academic intervention plans to support student and modify his / her academic path to success.

I would say:

1. jigsaw, it is fun, engaging and competitive. It could be used to introduce vocabulary for example, students match a Math term with a visual representing the term.

2. Think- pair- share as it could be used at any part of the lesson to assess knowledge and understanding and it is less stressful.

1. Why formative strategies?

Formative assessment strategies are crucial because they provide regular and ongoing evidence of student learning during instruction. In the context of "The Transformative Ten," formative assessment supports the implementation of strategies by offering a consistent stream of up-to-date and precise information on student learning. It helps teachers understand what students know and can do, allowing for in-the-moment decisions based on individual student needs. Formative assessment is an essential component to facilitate the strategies contained in "The Transformative Ten" on a weekly and daily basis.

# data[].attributes.body
Many formative assessment strategies, such as classroom discussions, quizzes, and peer assessments, promote active engagement in the learning process. This active participation helps students to deepen their understanding of concepts and retain information more effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Closing the Achievement Gap: By providing timely feedback and targeted support to students, formative assessment strategies can help to identify and address learning gaps before they become insurmountable. This can be particularly beneficial for closing the achievement gap and ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
Monitoring Student Progress: Through formative assessment, teachers can track students' progress over time. This enables them to identify areas where students are excelling and areas where additional instruction may be needed.

# data[].attributes.body
Activity 1:

Omar Emad Emam

1. The three themes in "The Transformative Ten" are:

Optimizing instructional time

Exposing students to more content

Empowering students

2. Optimizing instructional time is the strategy that can be used, focusing on Mix whole-group, small-group, and individual activities.

# data[].attributes.body
planning for differentiation, small group,

# data[].attributes.body
differentiated tasks within the units it helps Both the teachers to stay focused on the curriculum and develop the students based on the results of the map

# data[].attributes.body
The wise feedback strategy would be an especially good one to consider for use with tier 3 students but is also useful for all students.

# data[].attributes.body
Tier 1

•Differentiated lesson plans.

•Differentiated learning.

•Evidence based learning in action.

•Use of metacognitive journals and graphic organizers

•Problem solving

•Communication

•Connection

•Representation

•Synthesis and revision

Promotion of self-Questioning techniques

# data[].attributes.body
Strategies for tier 1 students:

1. Small group lessons that target specific topics needed based on map results

2. Try scaffolding to break down complex concepts into smaller more manageable ones

3. Using visual aids might help certain students grasp the more difficult concepts

4. Peer support as most likely hearing from a fellow student tends to be more welcome as well that the peer might explain in a way more understood

# data[].attributes.body
The reflections questions at the end are something we need to ask ourselves and our teachers more frequently and take action upon.

# data[].attributes.body
Implementing simple formative assessments at the midway and endpoint of units can effectively showcase academic growth. By correlating these assessments with MAP results, tailored intervention strategies can be devised to address each student's specific needs.

Without constant formative assessment, one cannot tell if strategies are effective.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a good formative assessment strategy for ensuring students are able to share their learning with one another and build upon it.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a lot of strategies that we can apply but i guess to concern on personal work

# data[].attributes.body
Use the data and plan for implementing that practice for a define period of time.

use learning continuum which provides each student Indvidual data to bridge the gaps. which helps the teacher to support student learning moving forward to next level.

# data[].attributes.body
A primary focus for our school is assessing learning from start to finish. Teacher have began to use platforms such as Plickers, to gather data to be used to target students' needs and abilities. I like the list of quick tools for assessment, but it is important to go to the next step of what to do after the data is gathered.

Ashley Strickland

# data[].attributes.body
Formative strategies for continuous assessment are important because they provide ongoing feedback to both students and teachers, helping to identify areas of strength and weakness. This allows us to intervene on time to improve student understanding and performance.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation group work - target group - effective teaching activities - awarding

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation is the key strategy to improve Map scores as we target the needs of individual students. Also this strategy teaches the students to work on specific needs individually and in groups.

# data[].attributes.body
These are great ideas and there are some resources using technology to implement these strategies eg- random student selector, kahoot etc

# data[].attributes.body
Comparing the transformative ten to Mr. Jim's strategies we see similarities for example:

Under empowering students point number 10 states:

Explicitly teach academic vocabulary

And Mr. Jim stated the word of the day that's available for the teachers and is translated and should be shared everyday with the students.

# data[].attributes.body
6. Provide targeted practice for foundational skills

# data[].attributes.body
يWe can use the results to identify the skills that students lack and work to support these skills through training at the beginning of classes, taking additional classes or learning outside of school.

I also find that teamwork should be organized within the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Optimizing instructional time could be most impactful, considering the packed curriculum. So, we need to find ways to integrate support strategies into the set curriculum.

Also, empowering students will enable them to be achieved more progress over time.

# data[].attributes.body
Time is the most precious thing that is often taken for granted. Students' intentional exposure to the curriculum gets lost due to lack of focus and proper planning. I think it would be a great practice to build your class agenda with MAP practices in mind throughout the year rather than only thinking about it when MAP testing is near.

8. Create self learning. Opportunities - We use Khan Academy.

10. Vocabulary - Math teachers can write key words and use it as plenary

# data[].attributes.body
Academic vocabulary was a main focus in todays' presentation and it is the 10th step for "empowering students"

# data[].attributes.body
One of the thing I think we need to focus on is to explicitly teach academic vocabulary. This come under empowering students and I think we all had comments about this when Mr. Jim advised that we are allowed to use the dictionary.

# data[].attributes.body
I like to use Aleks

As well as the words of the lesson

A few years ago, I came across "10 assessments you can perform in 90 seconds" by TeachThought and really enjoyed the formative assessment strategies they outlined. Using formative assessment strategies in class during instruction-or "simple assessments," as they call them-is easy and provides the instant feedback teachers need to identify which learners need more help and adjust their instruction and lesson plans accordingly. Visit the blog above to get more detail on the following techniques:

1. New Clothes

2. Dos and Don'ts

3. Three Common Misunderstandings

4. Yes/No Chart

5. Three Questions

6. Explain What Matters

7. Big Picture

8. Venn Diagram

9. Draw It

10. Self-Directed Response

Combining these 10 with 10 others we've blogged about in the past gives teachers 20 great formative assessment strategies for checking on student learning. Be sure to click through to learn more about these formative assessment strategies.

Want more? Here are seven more strategies you can use to elicit evidence of student learning.

1. Entrance Tickets. We've blogged about and explained the Exit Ticket, so why not have an Entrance Ticket? Here, the teacher asks a question at the start of a lesson, and students write their responses on index cards or strips of paper. Answers are used to assess initial understanding of something to be discussed in that day's lesson or as a short summary of understanding of the previous day's lesson. The teacher designs the lesson around the fact that information on student learning will be coming in at the start of the lesson and can be used to improve the teaching and learning in that lesson. Be sure to write the question so it is easily interpreted and analyzed, allows time for you and/or the students to analyze the responses, and leaves space for you to adjust the lesson, if needed.

2. Keep the Question Going. With this formative assessment strategy, you'll ask one student a question and then ask another student if that answer seems reasonable or correct. Then, ask a third student for an explanation of why there is an agreement or not. This helps keep all the students engaged because they must be prepared to either agree or disagree with the answers given and provide explanations.

3. 30-Second Share. With this strategy, students take a turn to report something learned in a lesson for up to 30 seconds each. Connections to the learning targets or success criteria are what you'll be looking for in the language used by the student. Make this a routine at the end of a lesson so all students have the opportunity to participate, share insights, and clarify what was learned.

4. Parking Lot. This is an underused strategy for students and one that can surface questions before learning, as well as during and after. This tool also offers an anonymous place for questions that may be directly related to the content or tangential to the current topic and provide insight into student thinking. Simply save a spot on your whiteboard to write down ideas or questions that aren't completely relevant in the moment but should be revisited later.

5. One-Minute Paper. This might be considered a type of exit ticket as it is typically done near the end of the day. Ask your students, either individually or with a partner, to respond in writing to a single prompt. Typical prompts include:

Most important learning from the day and why

Most surprising concept and why

Most confusing topic and why

Something I think might appear on a test or quiz and why

3-2-1. At the end of the learning, this strategy provides students a way to summarize or even question what they just learned. Three prompts are provided for students to respond to:

3 things you didn't know before

2 things that surprised you about the topic

1 thing you want to start doing with what you've learned

Assessment Reflection. This strategy is a post-assessment reflection completed individually first and then shared in a small group. After an assessment, the teacher provides a list of questions so learners can reflect on their assessment experience. During group discussion, ideas are collected as new information to support students to better prepare for and engage in future assessments. Consider the following or similar questions. You might also use strategies such as Plus, Minus, Interesting, or Plus/Delta.

How engaged were you with this assessment? Why?

What did you feel most confident about? Why?

What did you do that led to your success or confidence?

What was the most difficult part of this assessment? Why?

What would you do differently next time?

What was the most confusing? Why?

What do you know about the topic that the assessment didn't allow you to show?

Dig in

All 27 of these formative assessment strategies are simple to administer and free or inexpensive to use. They'll provide you with the evidence of student learning you need to make lesson plan adjustments and keep learning on target and moving forward. They'll also give your students valuable information so they can adjust their learning tactics and know where to focus their energies.

If you're not quite sure where to get started, the following discussion questions can help.
