As for individual teachers, teachers give feed back and seem to have a purpose for giving assessment. Most of individual teacher's assessments seem to be summative however.

In our college music courses, we have seen formative assessments being used in sequence, some being graded and some not being graded, and a summative assessment used at the end of course instruction. Looking back at high school, we couldn't interpret the data from our standardized tests. It was not applicable to us, and not given to us immediately. The small amount of schools we have seen have not had an assessment or data use plan. Music classrooms are especially different, and we have not seen a solid or effective assessment plan anywhere. ]]> 2018-04-10 15:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_meiers/t1zdsb878ia6/wish/250316002 https://padlet.com/andrea_meiers/t1zdsb878ia6/wish/250316147 Looking back it is clear that a lot of our teachers were using formative assessment to determine where students were at in their learning. As a school plan, we don't believe our schools had much of a plan. Only certain teachers seemed to have their own idea of assessment and what they were to do with it.]]> 2018-04-10 15:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_meiers/t1zdsb878ia6/wish/250316147 https://padlet.com/andrea_meiers/t1zdsb878ia6/wish/250324182 We haven't seen data being used in schools very often. We have seen data used more frequently recently than we did when we first started in the program. We have found data collection to lack cohesiveness across schools or departments with consistency only existing in individual classrooms. ]]> 2018-04-10 15:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/andrea_meiers/t1zdsb878ia6/wish/250324182
