ASSESSMENT: Not A Bad Word And Make it BOLD Frequent and varied
assessment is KEY in learning. Teachers & students can evaluate
where they need interventions and support. Formative assessment
with immediate feedback has shown to improve learning and
retention. How can I conduct frequent, effective, and sound
assessment within my already limited time and without feeling
overwhelmed?
Slide 5
DATA & RESEARCH: Easier Than You Think And Make it BOLD
Just because you grade and assess, does not mean that you truly
KNOW how EACH student is progressing or what they do/do not know.
How can I conduct class-based research that is will improve my
instruction without being too challenging and time consuming?
Formative assessments are FREQUENT and SHORT. They give instant
feedback to teacher and student to see where student is
struggling.
