your choice to compare and contrast the
characteristics of a “Checking for
Understanding Scale” & an “Academic Scale.”
Collaboratively:
1.
Describe how you use Checking for
Understanding Scales in your classroom.
2. Describe how you use Academic Scales in your
classroom.

1. Providing Clear Learning Goals & Scales
The teacher provides a clearly stated learning goal accompanied by scale or
rubric that describes levels of performance relative to the learning goal.
Teacher Evidence
 Teacher has a learning goal posted so that all students can see it
 The learning goal is a clear statement of knowledge or information as opposed
to an activity or assignment
 Teacher makes reference to the learning goal throughout the lesson
 Teacher has a scale or rubric that relates to the learning goal posted so that
all students can see it
 Teacher makes reference to the scale or rubric throughout the lesson
Student Evidence
 When asked, students can explain the learning goal for the lesson
 When asked, students can explain how their current activities relate to the
learning goal
 When asked, students can explain the meaning of the levels of performance
articulated in the scale or rubric

clear targets
for learning
Then

process of
reaching
those targets.
2. Tracking Student Progress
The teacher facilitates tracking of student progress on one or more learning
goals using a formative approach to assessment.
Teacher Evidence
 Teacher helps student track their individual progress on the learning goal
 Teacher uses formal and informal means to assign scores to students on
the scale or rubric depicting student status on the learning goal
 Teacher charts the progress of the entire class on the learning goal
Student Evidence
 When asked, students can describe their status relative to the learning goal
using the scale or rubric
 Students systematically update their status on the learning goal

“The Best Value in Formative Assessment”
As you read the article, code and annotate the text as
follows:
!
Confirms what you thought
Contradicts what you thought
Raises a question
Strikes you as very important
Is new, interesting, or surprising
Connects to your life, the world, or
other things you’ve read
After reading the article, you will discuss and respond to questions.
20 Minutes
“The Best Value in Formative Assessment”
After reading the article, discuss responses using
textual evidence. (Write responses in foldable.)
1. Compare summative and formative assessments.
2. Describe characteristics of effective feedback.
3. Differentiate summative feedback from feedback
in the formative assessment process.
4. Educators often claim that allowing students to
correct test items or retake a test does not hold
the student responsible for being prepared.
Using evidence from the text, how would the
authors counter this assertion?

ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING
If formative assessment is about more frequent,
assessment FOR learning is about continuous. If
formative assessment is about providing teachers with
evidence, assessment FOR learning is about informing
the students themselves. If formative assessment tells
users who is and who is not meeting state standards,
assessment FOR learning tells them what progress each
student is making toward meeting each standard while
the learning is happening—when there’s still time to be
helpful.

3. Celebrating Student Success
The teacher provides students with recognition of their current status and their
knowledge gain relative to the learning goal.
Teacher Evidence

rubric
 Teacher acknowledges students who have made gains in their knowledge and skill
relative to the learning goal
 Teacher acknowledges and celebrates the final status and progress of the entire
class
 Teacher uses a variety of ways to celebrate success
 Show of hands
 Certification of success
 Parent notification
 Round of applause
Student Evidence
 Student show signs of pride regarding their accomplishments in the class

2 Minutes
Round Table – All Write Brainstorm
How do you celebrate student success?
1. The 1st participant shares an example of celebrating student
success. All participants write the example in foldable.
2. Do NOT talk about or evaluate the shared examples. The
idea is to list as many ideas as possible.
3. Rotate clockwise and repeat until time is called.
4. You may pass until your next turn if you need more time to
think of another example.
After Brainstorming time is called,
discuss the examples and choose
three that you will try in your
classroom. 3 Minutes

STUDENT
SUCCESS
Verbal Feedback
 Note what a student did well on a task
 Take care not to attribute student
success to “fixed” characteristics such
as talent
 Include statements about effort when
giving feedback: hard work, focused,
well prepared, thinking skills, etc.
Acknowledging Progress
 Celebrate gains on the scale from initial
to final scores
Final Status Celebration
 Celebrate students’ final status on the
scale
 Recognize students who received
mastery of 3.0 and above
