https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1 Based upon your learning this week, what are you thinking about formative assessment. Share 1) what excites you about this understanding of formative assessment; 2) what questions do you have about this understanding; 3) what would you like to learn more about; or 4) what is missing from this understanding of formative assessment? en-us 2023-01-03 03:34:29 UTC 2023-01-25 20:34:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2434265663 What a great way to engage our students! I know my sixth graders need to be challenged to prove a project is worth their time to do it! They will argue anything or anyone. So, I think I can get them to understand this logic and challenge them to an education! ]]> 2023-01-05 04:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2434265663 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2434985962 I would like to know more about metacognition as it relates to formative assessment. I am currently reading a book called "Powerful Teaching," which is a book that talks about metacognition in the classroom. Our reading for ELC made me think about how to use metacognition in more specific contexts. 

As an electives teacher, I am not always sure how to use assessments, but I am excited to use formative assessment in my classroom. ]]> 2023-01-05 18:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2434985962 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2435067777 I am excited about students being more involved in their learning. Many students feel that the teacher is the source of learning and do not see the value in their on knowledge base. 

My main question is how to share these ideas with students when they often find more comfort in compliance.

I would like to learn more about how formative assessment can be planned for.

The student's perception of learning is missing. What happens when so many students are struggling to find meaning in learning after the impacts of the pandemic?

Through student discourse within their small groups, they are practicing student-led formative assessment - which is metacognition - and is (if you ask me) the end goal for all of our students. Of course - this type of practice needs to taught and modeled, but usually - if not always - students will follow whatever tone is set. Therefore, if a tone of "Let's learn together." is set - then rich and deep knowledge is more attainable. ]]> 2023-01-10 14:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2439439572 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2441231941 Formative assessment allows both student and teacher to recognize how the learning is progressing while there still is time to make positive changes during the lesson, if necessary. I think the feedback students receive from FA, whether via fellow students or teacher input, is integral to students having agency with their own learning. It allows the student to own the learning, and when deficits present themselves, gives the student the opportunity to make changes. ]]> 2023-01-11 18:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2441231941 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2450300696 What excites me about formative assessment is that it is a constant flow of things, and is essential to learning. I think the challenge I always have with formative assessment is determining when to more formally assess. It seems like to truly support learning, many things that we consider summatives, like writing an essay, are actually best articulated as formative assessment... but then we still have to grade. ]]> 2023-01-19 19:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2450300696 finnesa1 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456763840 I'm excited at the possibility of a space like this being created in my classroom - the idea that students are falling in love with learning and not just "competing for a grade" as one student said, is incredible: my hope for all of my learners! ]]> 2023-01-25 20:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456763840 finnesa1 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456766383 My questions are always related to how assignments and grades are measured in an environment like this - how do I incentive their learning without it being "just show up and perform"? Many of my students are motivated by grades, not necessarily learning. If a student is absent, they want to know "what we did yesterday" - I'm not sure how to translate FA into something repeatable that can be explained in our context of Canvas]]> 2023-01-25 20:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456766383 finnesa1 https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456767397 I would like to learn more about how other teachers are incorporating this process into their classrooms over time and not just as one-off FA style activities (which is more so where my classroom currently is)]]> 2023-01-25 20:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nelsojo/4g174kfhugcl75e1/wish/2456767397
