How is it done?

The teacher will begin by introducing this to the students. They will be answering multiple choice questions by going to different corners. Each corner represents a different answer (A,B,C,D). This is a good assessment to use after teaching a lesson to see if they understood or if the way the material was presented was difficult.

Example:

After teaching a lesson over planets you could preform four corners as an assessment to see which students understood the material. Through out the questions you will see which students you will need to pull into small groups or if you need to reteach the lesson.  This is also a great way to get the students up and moving.

They will both think about a topic or question, then they will pair together to discuss the topic or question, and lastly the groups will share their answers.

How it is done?

The teacher will tell the students that they will be doing a think-pair-share about a certain question. Then you will give them the question and some time to think through it before letting them go to their partners and discuss their thinking. Partners will already be given from the beginning of the year. Once the groups have had enough time to discuss you will bring them back to the lesson and let each group share their answers. Some might be the same and other might be different allowing you to assess the students learning.

Example:

During a math lesson you can let the students do their active engagement in partners. Telling them to think and discuss what you think the answer is. Then allowing them to share to the whole class their answer.    ]]> 2019-02-07 00:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328550397 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328552374 Stop and go allows you to teach along with letting the students give instant feedback through the use of a stop card and a go card.

How is it done?

Each student is given stop and go card at the beginning of the year. They are told to use these during lessons being taught. Go means that they are understanding the lesson and stop means I am not sure about what you are doing or something is unclear. This will allow you to assess who is understanding the lesson while it is being taught and who you might need to pull into a small group to further the lesson.

Example:

While teaching a history lesson the teacher can ask the students to pull out their stop and go cards. Throughout the lesson the students will flip their cards depending on if they understand what the teacher is saying or if they need something clarified. This will allow the teacher to be able to address the problems right then instead of the next day. ]]> 2019-02-07 00:47:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328552374 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328556265 Using illustrations allows you to see what if your students understood the contents of a story. This assess their reading comprehension or listening skills.

How is it done?

A story passage is either read to the students or they read it silently to themselves. After the reading the students will draw a picture/illustration about the content in the story. The teacher will then look at each students illustration to see if the fully understood the story passage. 

Example:

Asking students to draw a scene from a book that you are reading to the whole class or having them read a short passage and illustrate what is being said in the passage. ]]> 2019-02-07 01:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328556265 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328560539 A formative assessment that puts the students in the shoes of a historical figure. The students will be given an historical figure and asked to write a letter about the things that person is going through. 

How is it done?

During a History lesson (can be over a few days) students are given a historical figure that they have already learned about or are learning about. They will be asked to write a letter from the eyes of that person. They will discuss events during that time, impacts the person might of had, and other facts about them. 

Examples:

Mainly used in during a history lesson. The students will be given a historical figure and will need to write a letter about that person and time frame. This will allow the students to either learn about a new person or learn more about someone they have already learned about. This assessment will not only let you see which students understood the material but also helps them practice writing for essays or long response questions.

How is it done?

This assessment can be used in any subject. After the lesson is taught the teacher will ask the students a question that went with the lesson hey just went over. They will write their answer/answers on a piece of paper. This piece of paper will be a way from them to leave the classroom (ticket out the door). This will allow the teacher to see what each student took away from the lesson.

How is it done?

After the teacher is done teaching the lesson and performing the student practice, they teacher will ask the students to summarize something they learned. They will only be able to use $3 to summarize. Meaning that each word is 10 cents so the students have 30 words to explain the most important thing they learned from that lesson. They can use less than 30 words but they can not use more than 30 words. ]]> 2019-02-07 02:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328569474 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328570101 Teachers can use quizzes in two ways, seeing what the students know and going back to reteach things they might not have understood.

How it is done?

If the teacher is giving the quiz out to students to preform they are looking to see what they learned from the lesson. If the teacher is looking at the quizzes the students have already completed then he/she is seeing what material might need to be retaught or addressed again with the class or in a small group.]]> 2019-02-07 02:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328570101 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328572134 Teacher will give either groups or individual students a small whiteboard. They will use this whiteboard to work through the problem and write down their answers. 

How is it done?

During the active engagement part of the lesson the teacher can ask students to use a small whiteboard to work out the problem and write the answer. This can be used for any subject. The students can do this in groups or individually. Using this assessment will allow the teacher to be able to see who understand the material and who might need to be pulled into a small group to further the lesson.  ]]> 2019-02-07 02:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328572134 jessicareed2494 https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328573989 Students are broken into groups. Each group is given a part of a lesson. Each group will learn about their part and teach it to the class.

How is it done?

Teachers can use this assessment when reading a longer passage over a subject. Each group is given a paragraph from the text to read and analyze. They will right down what they think is most important, fun facts, and overall understanding of the passage. Once the groups have had enough time to read and figure out their information they will all come together to share their findings. Once each group is done sharing they will have gone over in detail the entire passage.  ]]> 2019-02-07 02:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicareed2494/5467y6mu356w/wish/328573989
