Reflecting With Depth and Complexity

Do you ask your students to look back at their work and reflect on their progress? If so, are you integrating the tools of depth and complexity into these reflections?

  • Ask students to examine the change over time in their scores.
  • Tell students to look for patterns in the type of questions missed.
  • Encourage them to notice if the simply misunderstood a rule.
  • Perhaps students need to notice a recent trend in their work.
 
 
Response Units - Clickers     

Provides immediate response to pre assessment to drive instruction, and post assessment to monitor growth. 

Students love them, thinking that they are participating in a game, rather than being tested.

The Vital Connection Between Assessment and Differentiation


Assessment always has more to do with helping students grow than with cataloging their mistakes.

Carol Ann Tomlinson 


 

 


Pre-Assessments, Formative, Summative assessments

Using ongoing assessments helps determine the pace of the lessons, or areas of review. It also helps determine current knowledge and identifies gaps.

 

These ongoing assessment ideas helps with determining where each student is at, and will help drive the direction of the next class session. 

 

 

Technology Pre-Assessment , Formative, Summative Assess current knowledge:
  • Immediately chart student responses
  • Increase class participation
  • Identifies weak areas for entire class, where reteaching may be needed
  • Encourages group and peer learning
  • Use interactive response units to assess students with questions that test understanding. (All student responses are available to evaluate weak areas for re-teaching.  Looking at the entire class's response to identify weak areas is easy.)
  • Use the response units to assess student comfort level. 
  • Use information collected to plan next differentiated lesson
  • Students get immediate feedback, and can compare their answer with other students' response.
  • tests and quizzes are automatically graded and you are able to look at the entire class to identify sections that may need additional action.
