Since our subject area is so visual, as teachers we can almost immediately see if students are understanding concepts as they are working independently. This is great because we have something to point to to talk about with students - whether they're already understanding or needing more help.

Doing a structured exit slip is really hard as we only see students once a week. Doing a fist to five or a thumbs up. side, or down as in line helps for a quick visual exit slip to take a poll for how successful students are feeling at the end of each lesson.

Displayed in the classroom, I have four emojis with faces that match the following descriptions: I know it and can teach lesson to someone else, I know it and can do it on my own, I need some help, and This is tricky. In the centerof the display is the lesson title. Students go up and write their name on the emoji that best describes how they feel about the lesson. This allows me as the teacher to assess in the moment and redirect the lesson as needed or to provide individual support to students.

Assessments we use- Quick Quizzes, Exit Slips, Group Jams, math talks, pear deck, class discussions, turn in talks, fist to five

Use the data to create small groups, re teach when needed, and modify assignments.

Continue to strengthen our students ability to have insightful and meaningful conversations and discussions. Both in math and ELA.

# data[].attributes.body
We currently use:
- quick quizzes - nonverbal (thumbs up) -exit tickets - IXL trouble spots - Splashlearn         - reading records - math talks - Kahoot -IXL Jams - IEP goals - math test -units of studies test - rubrics for modes of writing - fastbridge - timed fact tests - Xtramath - observations - student conversations - conferencing

How do these help:
The teacher is able to determine understanding and what is needing further instruction. Used for grouping students for intentional instruction. Used for differentiation. Used for progress reports and communication student needs and successes with parents.

Tools to explore:
Assessment that encourages learning throughout. Assessments that expand the learning. Formative assessments throughout units of study. Admit slips to hook the learner.

1. What assessments and checks for understanding do we use in our classrooms?
-zones check-in
-dialogic thinking (revoice student comments, emphasize key points, give them time to think)
-Level of prompting

2. How do we use these assessments to support students?
-Reaching students at different levels
-See what we need to reteach

3. What new tools do we need to explore or how can we use what we have differently?
-Seeing what curriculum is available to use to see what different assessments we have
-Digital tools
