3 Assessment Prompts:
1. Ticket Out the Door
2. Sticky Note Responses
3. Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
PowerPoint Thoughts:
1. Allow Do-Overs. After giving feedback on formative assessment, it can be valuable for students to answer a question again, making revisions as necessary.
2. Graphic Organizers can be used to recall information at a later point and can be used as a study tool for students.

3 Assessment Prompts:
1. Quizizz and Kahoot
2. Individual whiteboards or "Show Me" App on iPad
3. Entrance/Exit Ticket

PowerPoint Thoughts:
1. The graphic organizer research statistics on the fourth slide really stood out to me.  The increase in students passing the post test from using a GO vs not using a GO was astounding to me.  Teaching math, GO are something I struggle to find.  I am going to put forth more effort and research into finding graphic organizers that can work with math topics.
2. All students need to be answering the assessment prompt. This creates accountability for each student. Questioning that only incorporates a few students into the learning is not adequate.

3 Assessment Prompts
1.Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
2. Kahoot!
3.Educreations app as a digital white board
PowerPoint Thoughts:
1.Make the GO part of the assignment but not the entire assignment.
2.GO's show the students how to think about the information they are learning.

Assessment Prompts
1. One minute writes - responding to a prompt such as evaluating a choice.
2. Quick write - "Justify whether the character made the best decision..."
3. Dry erase mat answers.

Thoughts:
Graphic organizers help make connections and explore relationships with knowledge & skills already stored in memory.
Formative assessments provide real time feedback to both teachers and students. I like this because the kids know right away if they are on the right track. I also like sharing answers so they are able to hear what a great answer sounds like.

# data[].attributes.body
Assessment Prompts:
1. I use dry erase boards/educreations app on iPad
2. Students answer EQs - sometimes orally - turning and telling a partner and sometimes through the Seesaw App
3. Sign Language (teach a few letters (true/false, same/different, etc.)

PowerPoint thoughts:
1. Make the graphic organizer part of the assignment but not the whole assignment.
2. Assessment prompts should show accountability for all students much more than calling on individual students.

Assessment Prompts
1. Think, pair, share
2. We use dry erase boards during math and during our morning warm up.
3. Students will respond to the essential question in their writing journals and add on to their responses each day.

PowerPoint
1. Graphic organizers help students to make sense of an abstract concept. They give students a visual representation of the information.
2. Students are able to recall information more readily from the use of graphic organizers.

# data[].attributes.body
3 Assessment Prompts
1. Turn and tell a partner
2. Morning message, each student completes a morning message daily that assesses their ability to use recently learned skills (ex: recognize sight words or read/write word families)
3. Hand signals, ex: if you think the answer is this touch your nose, if you think the answer is that touch your ear

2 Meaningful Points
1. The visual of a graphic organizer helps students remember spatially where info belongs which helps them remember it longer
2. We use graphic organizers to turn abstract concepts into concrete visuals for the students

b)Thumbs up/down, hands raised, show me, and turn to a partner

c)The recollection of information 10 & 20 days later with/with out use of a GO was impressive; Allow Do-Overs! "Teachers communicate a growth mindset when they provide feedback and then give students an opportunity to make corrections." This is crucial for learning to occur and is also a practice I believe many secondary teachers need to implement more regularly.

3 Assessment Prompts

Think, Pair, Share- one student defines what we are talking about, the other gives an example

Written answers on white boards

Numbered fingers- students will hold up the number of fingers that match a multiple choice question

2 Meaningful Points

There should be at least 1 assessment prompt for each in your lesson plan/curriculum

We need to ensure that the assessment prompt is something completed by all students to ensure we know where each student is, not just a few selected students

Three Examples of Assessment Prompts:

I use a variety of assessments in my classroom. One of the more common ones I
use is fist to 5.  I use this from the beginning of the year and gain a lot of insight from my students.  The other two I use frequently are thumbs up/thumbs down, paper/pencil type tasks to assess strengths and weaknesses in particular math skills.
2 PPT Points:
- I found the information regarding retention of learning from using a graphic organizer interesting. When I used to teach reading, I was constantly using graphic organizers. I struggle  to find graphic organizers for math, but instead use interactive notebooks with reference resources for particular skills.
- I also thought it was interesting to choose one graphic organizer and stick with it explicitly. I actually prefer to expose students to various graphic organizers and allow them to choose what works best for them. Again, when I used to teach reading, I would vary the graphic organizers for reading skills but would stick to consistent graphic organizers for writing.

I use thumb up/down, white boards, and turn and tell a neighbor.
Items from PP- I found it helpful to think about the differences between formative & summative assessments as a chef and his soup. Formative assessments allow teachers to gauge how well their students grasp the information and them make adjustments accordingly. It also reminded me that the GO needs to be explicitly taught in order for it to be used properly and ensure students will be successful in organizing their information.

3 examples of assessment prompts: From 0-5, how comfortable do you feel completing this independently right now? (Students self-rate using from 0-5 fingers by their hearts); Socrative app allows me to assess learning instantaneously and highlight results as a class in real time; anonymous sticky notes on the board answering EQ/other HOT question in writing independently; then the teacher sorts by correct/incorrect; the class discusses why some were correct/incorrect and how to improve the response. Students are given a shot to improve or expand upon answers later in the lesson.

2 items from the Powerpoint: 1.) “Graphic organizers help students make connections and explore relationships with knowledge and skills already stored in memory.” This especially helps my 4th graders when they utilize the exact same GO for TDA instruction in class AND persuasive writing instruction. 2.) “Make the graphic organizer part of the assignment, but not make it the WHOLE assignment.” So often, I think it is easy for me to just utilize graphic organizers as the whole assignment, but I like thinking of it as being merely a way to assist in that final product.

Name: Mimi Frohman; Assessment prompt examples: thumbs-up/thumbs-down, think/pair/share, responses on white boards; Meaningful items: (1) formative assessments allow teachers to make immediate adjustments in instruction in response to students' current levels of understanding (2) formative assessments allow students to actively monitor their own learning and become more self-reflective as a result of the immediate feedback;

Luckenbaugh: 3 Assessment Prompts: Timed reading and retells, written work dictation, whiteboards and markers for sight words and marking up words  2 Meaningful Items: GOs help move from short term to long term memory through visualizing, Research of use of GOs with pre and post tests and higher performance

Name: Sarah Lehman b. assessment prompts: white board responses, quick quizzes, oral questions. c. two meaningful items: visual or formative vs. summative assessment, data showing how using graphic organizers affects learning 20 days later, and thoughts of using graphic organizers outside ELA classes.

Christine Ream     Assessment Prompts:  1. student demonstration of the technique to play a single chord, 2. student demonstration of technique to determine and play a chord pattern within a song  3.  student demonstration of technique to play a series of chord patterns to comprise an entire song     Two meaningful items:   1. "The power of formative assessment is it can be used by teachers to make immediate adjustments in instruction before students are completely lost. "   2. " formative assessments are checkpoints along the way so both teachers and students can gauge if learning is on course. "
