Formative+Assessment

Student Formative Assessment Worksheet

Formative Assessment is about students taking more responsibility for their learning. It involves student goal setting, student self-assessment, and students asking lots of questions.

This year, I have stressed the importance of purposeful lessons. As students, it is your right and responsibility to understand what is being taught; why it is being taught and how you will be expected to learn it.

When we discuss formative assessment, we are talking about the **content** of the lesson (what we are learning); the **process** of learning (how we are going to do this assignment); and the **product or end results** of our efforts (why we are learning it).

As we learn more about formative assessment, we need to consider these three questions: - Where am I going? - Where am I now? - What strategy or strategies can help me get to where I need to go?

Making connections: Formative assessment is very much like the //Seven Habits of Highly Effective People//. It helps you set goals (Habit 2 – Begin with the End in Mind); establish a plan (Habit 3 – Put first things first); give and receive feedback as you work your plan (Habit 1-Be Proactive), and evaluate your learning. Understanding and embracing the formative assessment process will make you a more successful student and a more engaged learner.


 * PLAN: What do I want to //learn//? **

My goal is to:

__** ACTION ** : **What do I need to //do// to accomplish my goal?** __

I will use these three strategies to create my project. (How will I “figure out” this project?)

Examples: - Create a timeline, starting with the project due date. - Ask friends and teachers for input and ideas for improvement as I work on the project. Review, revise, reshape my work based on feedback received. (Habit 6: Synergize) - Provide feedback to others. - Challenge myself to try new technologies that help me communicate my ideas. - Use examples of good work (i.e. Ms. Hetrick’s examples). - Refer to the rubric. - Other good strategies – share your ideas with a friend and Ms. Hetrick! Write them down here:

I will **evaluate my work** as I work on the project using the following Originality Organization Content Requirements Presentation Attractiveness
 * criteria for success**? (see rubric)


 * RESULTS ** :
