Formative assessment tools and strategies - CATT501E-19EX-M05-NX by TANZ eCampus https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp en-us 2019-05-10 04:02:29 UTC 2019-06-06 06:26:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Morgan Cotton formative assessment strategy. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364189463 As I am teaching secondary school students i am noticing a massive gap between groups who are absorbing the information and groups who are noticeably behind.
The formative assessment idea i feel would be useful to manage this is the "one minute paper"
The fact that it can highlight key areas in a lesson that are not being absorbed and identify in each group where i can elaborate, repeat and reflect with them would make the world of difference. I feel it will add a sense of clarification and confidence in my students that are less inclined to ask for help and need more elaboration on certain topics.]]> 2019-05-29 00:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364189463 Mel Large- Formative assessment strategy. https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364259251
The one that  stood out for me with one of my current group of students is the:
  • Muddiest Point 
Ask students to write down what they perceived as the muddiest point in a lecture, reading, etc. The muddiest point is something that they still do not fully understand, or are having difficulty with. Collect responses then clarify these muddy points during the next class. 

I feel this would allow those students who do not feel comfortable to speak up in a large groups to communicate with me  where they are struggling.

The idea of using strategic questioning seems a great idea. Using higher order questions, why and how, that make them think deeper and make connections with their learning. The program I teach in is very hands on, practical. Along with this it has a lot of skills to be learnt and built on through a students career in industry. Self - assessment and pair assessment would also help these students to give and receive feedback on work produced in a meaningful and encouraging way. This would also help them to learn from on another.]]> 2019-05-29 08:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364264387 https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364264579 2019-05-29 08:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/364264579 I https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/366020999 2019-06-06 06:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/366020999 Ros Leahy-Trying new formative strategy https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/366021000 I think using the muddiest point exercise would work in my classes, A couple of reasons
1. I am a new tutor to an already established group of students. I have been working on the relationships but currently some students are wary. Doing this activity would allow a safe space for them to express what they are struggling with.
2, The content I am teaching is not my area of expertise. By collecting the responses I can make sure the information I am sharing to clarify is accurate and not just what I think I know.]]> 2019-06-06 06:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/fzuiqthpe9jp/wish/366021000
