Consider on your own or discuss with colleagues:

1) What has been your experience to date with formative assessment practices?

2) Contrast your experience with the formative assessment described in the article. Has your practice been more quick checks to get a general sense of the group or strategically designed individual checks?

3) How can planning strategically designed formative assessment help you to meet the needs of learner variability? (CONSIDER WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT BARRIERS AND OPTIONS)

Your child's teacher works with the whole class, small groups, or individual students to help every student grow. For example, a student who demonstrates content well may need to be challenged to dive deeper or push their critical thinking skills further. Other students may need additional instruction presented in a different format. Instead of the whole class moving on at the same pace on the same topic, each student receives what they need when they need it. This is what we mean by equity.

Teachers decide when devices will best support student learning. Students may view multimedia content, read from print books, have a collaborative discussion with their peers face-to-face, meet with their teacher in a small group, and post a digital project to show what they have learned.

Flexible learning environments give students the support they need to make choices. They can collaborate or work independently. They might sit or stand, and materials are within students' reach. Students are empowered to become expert learners who can choose strategies that match their goals, as well as the resources to get there. Our goals are set but the means are flexible.
