• What does formative assessment look like in your district? • Create a graphic organizer to summarize your table
discussion.

A Look at Research
We use the general term assessment to refer to all those activities undertaken by teachers—and by their students in assessing themselves—that provide information to be used as feedback to modify teaching and learning activities. Such assessment becomes formative assessment when the evidence is actually used to adapt the teaching to meet student needs.

What is Formative Assessment? Formative assessment is…
6
“…a planned process in which assessment-elicited evidence of students’ status is used by teachers to adjust their ongoing instructional procedures or by students to adjust their learning tactics.”
W. James Popham, Transformative Assessment, ASCD, 2008, page 6
Formative assessment depends on collecting data and on taking action based on the data collected.

The Teacher’s Role in Formative Assessment
To tap the full potential of formative assessments, teachers must: • Clarify and share learning intentions and criteria for success
with students. • Engineer effective classroom discussions, questions, and
learning tasks. • Provide feedback that moves learners forward. • Activate students as owners of their own learning. • Encourage students to be instructional resources for one
another. D. Wiliam, “Changing Classroom Practice”

Revisit your assessment vision
Based on our discussions: • What would you change about your graphic organizer? • How would you revise the assessment continuum?

Moving into action
• How are you thinking about assessment in your district based on the research?
• What would you change? • What is your role in this change?

Learning Progressions
Formative assessment is a planned process, and a key component of this planning is the learning progression. “A learning progression is a sequenced set of sub-skills or bodies of enabling knowledge that, it is thought, students must master en route to mastering a more remote target curricular aim.”
W. James Popham, Transformative Assessment, ASCD, 2008, page 25
Learning progressions indicate to teachers when to collect assessment evidence.

Components of a Learning Progression
There are two key components in a learning progression:
• Target curricular aim – an important curricular goal that is preferably a higher level cognitive skill. It can be an objective for an extended duration teaching unit or a key learning goal for an entire course.
• Building blocks – knowledge and skills that students must master before they can reach the target curricular aim (i.e., what students must know and be able to do)
