Formative assessments allow teachers to respond to the needs of the student quickly, however more importantly it allows the student to shape instruction (both a student-centered and teacher-driven education model). Once you have a well planned formative assessment program in place, your school will also see a change in the culture within classrooms, concise communication of learning goals, varied effective instructional methods, a new understanding for student learning, improved student engagement with targeted student feedback, and an increase in student learning!
We’re told that a standards-based curriculum is suppose to increase student learning and promote higher student achievement, but what is it really all about? This course helps educators untangle what turns out to be the not-so-mysterious-language of today’s teaching and learning and put successful strategies into practice.
