4. ASSESSMENT
Not A Bad Word
Frequent and varied assessment is KEY in
learning. Teachers & students can evaluate
where they need interventions and support.
Formative assessment with immediate feedback
has shown to improve learning and retention.
How can I conduct frequent, effective, and
sound assessment within my already limited
time and without feeling overwhelmed?
CC"BY%NC%ND"2012"by"Catherine"Flippen"

5. DATA & RESEARCH
Easier Than You Think
Just because you grade and assess, does not
mean that you truly KNOW how EACH student is
progressing or what they do/do not know.
Formative assessments are FREQUENT and
SHORT. They give instant feedback to both
the teacher and student to see where student
is struggling.
How can I conduct class-based research that
is will improve my instruction without being
too challenging and time consuming?
