Each student is an opportunity; accept the challange. Desired learning outcomes • steps / skills / content required for students to achieve+ • ie. teach them the rules of the game so they can play it Know your student • learned experiences- prior knowledge Engage student in NEW learning experience • New activities / different teaching approaches Little will change unless something different happens in the classroom Teacher Reflection - upskilling / changing practice ONLY when the students are ready

6. Know your student Assessment of student learning needs  “The primary purpose of assessment is to improve students’ learning and teachers’ teaching …” New Zealand Curriculum, Assessment, p.39  “Healthy assessment practice uses multiple samplings from multiple sources.” NZEI Te RiuRoa & Lester Flockton, 2009 Refer to Assessment section of The Connected Curriculum

9. Assessment and learning: Formative assessment : Assessment on line

10. ‘Formative assessment refers to all those activities undertaken byteachers, and by the studentsin assessing themselves, which provide information to be used as feedback to modify the teaching and learningactivities in which they are engaged. Such assessments become formative when the evidence is actually usedtoadapt the teachingto meet the needs.’ -Black and William

11. What is so special about Formative Teaching? Sadler ’89 analysed feedback to show that for learning to take place the learner needs to know: • The goal • e.g. “I need to use the correct method to explain in detail consumer equilibrium. I need to use formulas and models, and refer to these in my explanations” • Their present position: • ie how far they have achieved the goal. • eg. what they do right and what they do wrong “I use the correct method usually and calculate the answers correctly, my diagrams are clear and I refer to them well in my explanations.” • How to close the gap • ie between the goal and their present position • e.g. “I need to ensure I don’t confuse income and substitution effects. I need to be better at linking changes in MU as a result of price changes to choice a consumer makes about what quantity to consume.” • Learning logs • Checksheet as learning log • PIPS

12. Formative assessment DOESN’T always have to be as a practice test or be done by the teacher Use the hand out below to complete your Eco planning template Snippets from Rethinking Classroom Assessment …. One to try:  Assertive questioning One variant is ‘Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce’:  Pose the question, pause to let them discuss it for 30 secs, ‘pounce’ on a student and ask their view, ‘bounce’ the same question to another student, ask students to explain their reasoning (metacognition). Keep the process going till there is a group consensus. Confirm the right answer at the end.  This process gets the whole class thinking and gives you great feedback on their learning.
