Notes+4

! -- Important Points:
Its a continuous process Focuses on closing the gap - response to the evidence and through feedback Evidence Adapting teaching to students needs Students adjusting their current learning tactics There is no single way to do formative assessment Students need to feel safe to say they don't understand something to recieve constructive criticism Its a partnership between student and teacher Student learning gains from formative assessment for eduational interventions Feedback is used to improve learning Assessment should be used to help students learn and not for rewards and punishments

** -- This may signal a change in practice:
For the students rather than to students Students adjust their curent learning tactics Using evidence about student learning and realize further evidene will be necessary Feedback must answer Peers can also provide feedback Teacher selects another gap after one closes
 * Where am I going?
 * How am I going?
 * Where to next?

C -- Connections to the CORI framework:
Learning goal identifies what the students will learn during the course of the lesson or lessons We have targeted tasks rather than "lots of good stuff'" Scaffolding

? -- Questions we have:
How do we keep track of each student as they close the gaps, since students will be at different levels? Do we move on to other things while others still haven't closed the previous gaps?
