Level 3: Strategic Thinking
1.how do formative assessments vary
Vary within disciplines although at times the methods used in formative assessment can be similar, the use of formative feedback vary between different disciplines. Students have the ability to activate and practice self reflective strategies in the formative feedback loop therefore they have to be given an opportunity in every classroom to be able to develop the skills. Although methods may be similar across disciplines, the precise use of formative feedback will naturally vary between disciplines (Black & William, 2014)
Supports ideas with details
2.Importance of dialogue in formative assessment
The instructor uses dialogue with students to create an opportunity for a feedback loop which help student to be able to shape and improve their performance in learning. This includes the stage where students’ improvement and progress is able to shape the instruction and formative feedback becomes formative assessment benefiting and improving students’ ability to learning.
Supporting the ideas and thinking.

It describes the authors purpose
Level 4: Extended Thinking
1.benefits of formative assessment
Formative assessment benefits both the teacher and the students
this is because the teacher benefits in a way that they may be
able to see the progress of the student learning and impact more
skills to them. On the other hand the student benefits because
they may be able to know their strengths and weakness and
improve on them.
Analyze and synthesize information
2. how is formative assessment sustainable
It should be sustainable because students should make it their
normal routine and not an add on. Formative assessment should
be a regular thing to students and as part of their ongoing
activities on their classes.
Includes complex thinking.

Commitment is one of the themes that can be leant from
formative assessment because students are required to be
committed regularly and be sustainable in order for them to

Describe and illustrate how common themes are found across
texts
5. Formative Assessments
Formative assessments can be defined as informal or formal
assessments that are done by teachers to improve students’
attainment during learning and also to modify the teachers
learning process. Formative assessment has a lot of benefit for
the student as it helps in monitoring how students are
progressing in their learning; and helps the teachers to improve
on their teaching skills to be able to improve the students
learning abilities. Formative assessment helps students with
being able to identify their weaknesses and strengths for them
to work of their target areas and improve their performance.
Formative assessment has several characteristics and here are
some of them;
Dialogue formative assessment includes the use of dialogue
which helps the students to be able to measure and improve
their goals expectations. The instructor uses dialogue with
students to create an opportunity for a feedback loop which help
student to be able to shape and improve their performance in
learning. This includes the stage where students’ improvement
and progress is able to shape the instruction and formative
feedback becomes formative assessment benefiting and
improving students’ ability to learning.
Vary within disciplines although at times the methods used in
formative assessment can be similar the use of formative
feedback varies between different disciplines. Students have the
ability to activate and practice self-reflective strategies in the
7. getting younger and younger. There are kids who know more
about functions on a smart phone than people in the work force
that should be using their phones and all of its capabilities.
I did not need a smart phone in high school five years ago when
all of my friends were just getting them, but in college I could
not have stayed informed around campus very well. We had
group messages of when practices were cancelled, emails sent to
our phones when classes were cancelled, weather warnings, and
maps to get around a new town right at my fingertips.
Watches worn to track workouts are something everyone on the
team wears to send accurate times for runs to our coach. It
helped while worming to have reminders to stand every hour.
My internship also gave prizes if its employees would walk a
certain amount of steps to promote a healthier lifestyle. Those
types of wearables are promoting healthier lifestyles.
Businesses are now able to see what is being searched online to
know what peoples' interests are. "The customer research
professionals of tomorrow will elevate their role by providing
strategic insight to companies"� (Poytner 2015). They are also
able to stay connected at work as well as after. I have not
personally stayed working after hours with needing to check
work emails, but I have had family members who work full days
at work and are still on their phones working, taking calls, and
checking emails long after they are home. Technology will keep
improving and changing and the world will continue to use and
adapt to the technology it will be interesting to see what it
becomes by 2025.
