Overview and Purpose of CFA


Learner Objectives of the Formative Assessment Series

Understand the clear purposes of assessment by clarifying Why they are assessing Who will use the results of assessment data What they will do with the assessment data

Develop clear and meaningful learning targets to guide instruction and student learning

Construct quality assessment instruments which are of sound design and measure the learning targets

P r o f e s s i o n a l D e v e l o p m e n t t o P r a c t i c eModule #1: Formative Assessment Overview

and Understanding the Clear Purposes of Assessment

Essential Questions:What is the difference between

assessment OF learning and assessment FOR learning?

What assessments are we currently doing?

Who are the users of assessment results?

For assessment instruments to have their greatest leverage, what function should they have?


Missouri Teacher Standards

Common formative assessments address the following Missouri Teacher Standards:Standard #7: Student Assessment and

Data AnalysisStandard #2: Student Learning, Growth

and DevelopmentStandard #4: Critical ThinkingStandard #9: Professional Collaboration

SWAP MEET!

On an index card write the following:

Your name & area (grade, content, etc.)

Percentage of your professional time you spend assessing students

A belief you have about the role of assessment

• Chris• I spend about…

• I believe that…


SWAP MEET!

Inquire about the author’s belief – if needed, record why it’s important

After sharing, find another person and represent the first person with whom you spoke

Return to your groups & explore any themes

• Chris• I spend about…

• I believe that…Stand and swap cards with

someone at a different table


Large group processing

What similarities and themes emerged at your table groups?




Ways We Already Assess


At Your Table:Label a piece of chart

paper, “Ways we assess now”

List all of the ways the you assess currently. Be specific.

Ways we assess now


At your table:Code (highlight or underline) to

indicate how labor intensive each is for teachers…Red for highBlue for mediumGreen for low

Ways we assess now


Who are the primary user(s) of the information from each assessment?

Now code with the following: A=Administration / T=Teacher

S=Student / P=Parent

Consider: How do they use the information?

What does the assessment tell that user?


Here’s What, So What, Now What

Using the three-column work sheet

Here’s What: Record specific data generated

So What: Draw conclusions from the data

Now What: List some implications this has for teachers and students

“Because the same assessment can be used both formatively and summatively, terms formative and summative make much more sense as descriptions of the function that assessment data serve, rather than of the assessment instruments themselves.”

CLOSING & Follow-up

Common Formative Assessment Overview


As we conclude…Essential Questions:What is the difference between

assessment OF learning and assessment FOR learning?

What assessments are we currently doing?

Who are the users of assessment results?

For assessment instruments to have their greatest leverage, what function should they have?

Close to Proficient

(Skill is emerging, but not yet to ideal

proficiency. Coaching is

recommended.)

Far from Proficient (Follow-up

professional development and coaching

is critical.)

Evidence

1

Educators develop clear and meaningful learning goals to guide instruction and student learning.

All of the following criteria are met. Learning goal is clearly connected to a big idea/essential

learning in the domain Learning goal develops deep understanding of

underlying concepts and/or acquisition of skills Learning goal clearly engages higher order thinking

processes Learning goal is clearly manageable and can be

accomplished in the course of a lesson or unit (may be several periods)

Learning target is clearly explained to students Connections between current learning goal and prior

learning are clearly made

At least 6 of the criteria are met.


Less than 4 of the criteria are met.

Common Formative Assessment Development & Implementation Template.

2

Educators establish clear and measureable student success criteria in a rubric, scoring guide, or checklist.

All of the following criteria are met. Success criteria are clearly and effectively aligned to

learning goals Success criteria clearly and effectively relate to what

students will say, do, make or write to show evidence of learning

Success criteria clearly and effectively reflect ways for students to indicate their current status relative to the learning goals

Success criteria are communicated in language student can fully understand

Success criteria are frequently referred to during the learning process.



Less than 2 of the criteria are met.

Common Formative Assessment Development & Implementation Template.


Implementation Fidelity

Yes Partially No If partially or no, please

explain. 1. Common formative assessment is linked to selected

learning standards.

2. Learning goal engages higher order thinking processes.

3. Learning goal can be accomplished in the course of a unit.

4. Learning target is written in language that students can clearly understand.

5. Learning target is clearly explained to students. 6. Success criteria are written in language that

students can clearly understand in a rubric or checklist.

7. Students receive feedback based on learning goal and their assessment results.

8. The quality of assessment items for measuring mastery is reviewed and items revised as needed.
