  1. Differentiated Workshop Assessment FOR Learning

  2. Workshop Details • Three days • Topeka 501 middle and high school teachers from all subject areas • Focus on using formative assessment

  4. Why differentiate? Participants vary widely • Subject areas and grade levels (6-12) • Years of teaching experience (first year to 30-plus years) • Experience with formative assessment (some don’t even know what it really means)

  5. How differentiated? Pre-assessment measuring readiness • Get participants thinking about key issues we will cover and reflecting on their own practices. • It will tell me where teachers are starting from in terms of their experience with assessment. • Helpful in shaping the workshop over the next three days.

  6. How differentiated? Day 1: Process/interest/learning profile • Kinesthetic, verbal, visual, logical, interpersonal, musical, intrapersonal • Folded box, target-method match, think-pair-share, video clips, Power point, reflection sheets

  7. How differentiated? Day 2: Case Studies • Tiered lesson differentiated on content/ readiness: three case studies for participants to apply different aspects of formative assessment • The Equalizer: Simple to complex; foundational to transformational; single-faceted to multifaceted; small to big leap

  8. How differentiated? Day 3: Changing a Unit • Product: readiness, interest, learning profile • The Equalizer: simple to complex; foundational to transformational; single faceted to multifaceted; small to big leap

  9. Flexible Grouping • Participants will vary groups throughout the workshop. • Self-selected; random; readiness; subject area/level taught

  10. Management Strategies • Variety of activities appealing to different learning style • Working individually, pairs, small groups, whole group • Choice • Food!

  11. Assessment • No summative assessment (no grades to give!) • Formative assessment throughout (activities, discussion, reflection, work on unit changes, follow up)

  12. What constitutes success? • Feedback on daily and end-of-workshop evaluation • Work on unit changes • Application in the classroom

  13. Self Evaluation • Strength: differentiating for learner profiles and process • Improvement: more differentiation for readiness
