Britney stated that her article also attributed students success by their individual effort. She discussed teachers providing feedback in terms of students meeting their learning targets. Teachers looked at misconceptions that frequently occur so that adjust their approach to a task to maximize their performance.  ]]> 2020-09-21 22:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766189571 Formative Assessments https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766190153 One article-Relationship building through dialogue with students

The first article focused on the seven different ways to formally assess students are priming, posing, pausing, probing, bouncing, tagging, and binning. Shakevia's second article focused on why self assessment is important. 

Johnathan:

Johnathan's first article focused on tracking and monitoring students online. Based on this article, Johnathan found that students do not take self assessments effectively online. His second article focused on strategies on how to use videos in online teaching. 

Telecia: 

Telecia's first article focused on discusses the role and purpose of assessment in RTI and critical knowledge for teachers and specialists. Her second article focused on discusses the importance of instructional driven assessment data, the purpose of valid assessment, and the implementation of these assessments within RTI. ]]> 2020-09-21 22:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766198677 Types of Formative Assessments emily_hogan8 https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766199600 - Exit Tickets
- Conferring
- Observations
- Questioning strategies
- Peer assessments
- Student Goal Setting

Exit tickets should be brief and using student-friendly language. Formative assessments can be group assessments so students can explore their answers with their peers and offer creative responses to open-ended questions/task.

Formative assessment should allow teachers to adjust their instruction or provide interventions for students to promote learning.

One of the articles addressed student goal setting and that “consistent goal setting and goal revision not only motivated the teacher but it also helped the student accept some “ownership” of learning goals and encouraged students to become actively involved in setting increasingly challenging goals.” Goals can be addressed during conferences with students and allow students to be involved in the learning environment.]]> 2020-09-21 22:44:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766199600 Art Portfolios https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766203314 Students can create digital portfolios to house their work from the entire semester and be submitted as a summative assessment. ]]> 2020-09-21 22:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766203314 Experience https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766203446 Some schools are focused on assessing while other schools are focused on building relationships with parents and students.

Teachers are worried about validity of test results under these circumstances

Teachers are excited about tools that simplify data and make sharing with parents easier.]]> 2020-09-21 22:47:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766203446 SEL https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766207963 2020-09-21 22:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766207963 Literacy Assessment https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766208310 R.A.C.E

It discussed how students setting goals and objectives for themselves helped over all student achievement. Also, it talked about how interest and the importance of a topic will effect student performance. ]]> 2020-09-21 22:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766209192 This article researched SEL and its effect on student achievement in math and ELA. Although students did make gains, the researchers noted that they did not take into account other factors. https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766209440 2020-09-21 22:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766209440 Group 6 https://padlet.com/jeffhall98/EDUC710FALL2020/wish/766209596 Shakevia's Personal Experience:

Shakevia is using the tools and strategies for formative assessments, however she needs to better understand how to use the strategies and tools collectively to better assess her students in math. 

Johnathan's Personal Experience:

Johnathan has started tracking the time that students are spending completing online assessments. He is planning on using some of the strategies for incorporating videos for online learning.

Telecia's Personal Experience:

I have noticed that there is a gap in how we assess Tier 2 students in a general ed. classroom based on their intervention needs. Because of this, there is no growth in the area of reading when assessed because there are no purposeful interventions being put in place for Tier 2 students.
