What formal and informal ways do you provide formative assessments in your classroom? en-us 2021-11-04 23:14:41 UTC 2026-02-27 20:36:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Elementary School: I call this the gallery duck walk. We decide as a glass what part of the rubric we will focus on when we view a classmate's work. We tuck our hands behind our back like duck feathers and slowly waddle to each table to see what our classmates have made. We critique with a sentence stem or sticky note and leave the note for our classmates. This can prepared on short papers or written on the spot depending on the grade level. Students need to turn in a _ # of critiques using their art language. When the teacher calls time or signals by music, students move to the next table to view their classmates' work. jgparton https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1868616249 2021-11-04 23:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1868616249 Middle and High School: I call this assessment type Tabletop Tweets.

These are great! They are codes with QR codes on them. Each student is assigned a number on the Plickers app. To assess students, set up a multiple choice question on the app. Students get their plicker card, then they hold it in the position that matches their answer. (Example: if they want to answer A, then they make sure they rotate it so that A is on top) Teacher scans the room with the app of their phone, and it records student answers.

My rubric always has at least 3 tiers. The middle tier is the general rubric for the unit and even that is differentiated but then there is always an advanced version of the project (also differentiated) and a modified version of the project. All three tiers are strictly standards focused. This helps all students achieve the *standards*-based objectives/goals and it also helps me differentiate every step of the learning process from warm-ups, skill builder activities, and the final product on a daily basis. https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870019719 2021-11-05 13:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870019719 https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870031551 My students unpack and assess artwork by using a 4-step artwork critique.  Students Describe, Analyze, Interpret, and Evaluate artwork.  I have language frames that guide the 4-step critique discussion taped to every art room table.

"Grows" are suggestions and feedback. We of course go over, how you have to use art vocabulary and techniques that we use in their statements, you can't say "This is pretty," or "This is ugly." We have to be positive statements like...
Glow: I love how you used line to create extra details in your design.
Grow: I like your start on the project, but maybe you could....
Then, students can use the grow statements to help them successfully complete their work.  I think it also helps to build self-confidence.]]> 2021-11-05 14:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870079127 Elementary General Music: awirsching https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870079249 Pre-K students echo a rhythmic pattern before lining up.]]> 2021-11-05 14:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870079249 https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870081931 2021-11-05 14:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870081931 Visual Arts Formative Assessments dredwards3 https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870085327 My students use peer to peer feed pack by using post-it notes pared with a gallery walk.

First students share ideas they have for how to use the new material or concept, and I write them on chart paper. Next students play and experiment with a concept or material on their own or in pairs. Then students teach each other about the ways they used the concept or material in a whole group debrief. During the debrief students may add their work to the chart paper or cork board to create a visual library to refer to in the future as they use the material or concept in a larger project. https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870086207 2021-11-05 14:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870086207 Elementary/Middle https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870087929 During class, I have students  answer a question about the lesson topic.

They evaluate the work based off of categories from our final project rubric, but simplified. After writing, they also have a verbal conversation about their work and give valuable feedback. The example check in attached here is from our project inspired by Tupac Shakur's poem A Rose That Grew Through Concrete. After students receive this peer feedback, it gives them an opportunity to reflect on their progress before our last studio day and make changes to their work if needed. ]]> 2021-11-05 14:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870089538 middle school general music https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870089932 having students play rhythms on bucket drums as a class, but going around the classroom to listen to and help each student ]]> 2021-11-05 14:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870089932 Sing Backs jmpalagyi https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870093337 One of my favorite formative assessments is to have children sing back to me patterns starting off.

When the specific project criteria is complete we make copies and students refer to the criteria throughout the project and can self assess as well. https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870186503 1]]> 2021-11-05 15:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870186503 Resources for Music Educators bgreiner01 https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870193839 https://www.nammfoundation.org/articles/2020-03-13/virtual-music-making-during-national-health-crisis?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsuLxmb-B9AIVCqCzCh3XLQE-EAAYASAAEgJiYPD_BwE

Verbal real time feedback is a necessary assessment tool in theatre performance, but it is sometimes hard to measure for data collection.]]> 2021-11-05 15:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870206927 We use games with scaffolded quizzes at Baer so I can reach all learners to ensure we know the same content and skill. In addition to this, we have scaffolded studio project options based on their ability (visual arts team or coding/sound design team). Stations that have different skills but cover the same concept (shape, texture, etc) can help unlock skills and talents for students who might accell with different materials. kmmazurek https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870207696 2021-11-05 15:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870207696 General Music: (Marcia Sellers) https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870208563 While having the class read from a music score, I have them track and I walk around the room to observe them for accuracy and to see their level of skill and provide feedback for their development.]]> 2021-11-05 15:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870208563 jwchoi2 https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870209312 I have my students complete an exit ticket or an artist statement.

Amazon has an 11pk for $11 I like to use. Write a one-measure rhythm on each panel. Have students stand in a circle. Call a name and a color. That student has to clap the rhythm indicated. All students repeat the rhythm. It's super fun and allows you to add more rhythmic ideas as they learn more. I have my high schoolers set a color scheme to arrange a rhythm (ie: red-blue-yellow-white-green).
They love it!

As discussed, reading an artwork is just like reading a written text- its just a different langauge. This unit uses the CUBES reading strategy to understand excerpts from Shiloh and also understand how to read a piece of artwork. Students learn about landscapes from the written description in Shiloh and discuss how landscape affects the characters and events in the story. They continue to develop their own personal landscape painting depicting personal time, place and culture . https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870227301 2021-11-05 15:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jgparton/fv8ofv9ssj54gz4d/wish/1870227301 Rhythmic dictation assessments.
