Formative Assessment Process for High School Mathematics

This six-day series is based on Stiggins’ Five Keys to Quality Formative Assessment.
Participants will apply what they learn between the 2-day sessions and bring products and processes to share and improve. Focus areas/topics are:
June 1-2, 2011: Formative Assessment Process defined, the 5 Keys, CCSS-M and Learning Targets, Sharing Learning Targets with Students
November 10-11, 2011: Assessment Maps, Matching Learning Targets with Assessment Methods, Assessment Resources, Student Engagement I
February 2-3, 2012: Analysis Strategies, Assessment Evaluation and Refinement Strategies, Student Engagement II, Sustainability Strategies and Resources

Outcomes for participants are

• Understand that formative assessment is a process not a product
• Understand the components of a quality formative assessment system
• Use the CCSS-M to refine/develop learning targets
• Use Stiggins’ 5 Keys to build assessment maps for instructional units
• Develop/choose formative assessment strategies that provide quality feedback for the teacher and student
• Create/identify standards-based common summative (final) and formative assessments (interim, benchmark) for a unit of study
