    The document provides examples of formative assessment techniques that can be used in the classroom to gather evidence of student learning, including observations, questioning, discussions, exit/admit slips, learning logs, graphic organizers, peer/self assessments, practice presentations, visual representations, kinesthetic assessments, individual whiteboards, and constructive quizzes. It then describes observations and constructive quizzes in more detail. Observations involve anecdotal notes, notebooks, and note cards to record data on student learning, while constructive quizzes use a folding technique so students can grade their own quizzes and receive immediate feedback to guide instruction.

    Examples of Formative Assessment

    When incorporated into classroom practice, the formative assessment process provides information needed to adjust teaching and learning while they are still happening. The process serves as practice for the student and a check for understanding during the learning process. The formative assessment process guides teachers in making decisions about future instruction. Here are a few examples that may be used in the classroom during the formative assessment process to collect evidence of student learning.

    Observations
    The more we know about students, the more we can help them. Observations, sometimes called kid watching, can help teachers determine what students do and do not know. There are several instruments and techniques that teachers can use to record useful data about student learning. Here are a few: Anecdotal Notes: These are short notes written during a lesson as students work in groups or individually, or after the lesson is complete. The teacher should reflect on a specific aspect of the learning (sorts geometric shapes correctly) and make notes on the student's progress toward mastery of that learning target. The teacher can create a form to organize these notes so that they can easily be used for adjusting instruction based on student needs. Anecdotal Notebook: The teacher may wish to keep a notebook of the individual observation forms or a notebook divided into sections for the individual students. With this method, all of the observations on an individual student are together and can furnish a picture of student learning over time. Anecdotal Note Cards: The teacher can create a file folder with 5" x 7" note cards for each student. See Observation Folder. This folder is handy for middle and high school teachers because it provides a convenient way to record observations on students in a variety of classes. Labels or Sticky Notes: Teachers can carry a clipboard with a sheet of labels or a pad of sticky notes and make observations as they circulate throughout the classroom. After the class, the labels or sticky notes can be placed in the observation notebook in the appropriate student's section. Whatever the method used to record observations on students' learning, the import thing is to use the data collected to adjust instruction to meet student needs.

    Constructive Quizzes
    Periodic quizzes can be used during the formative assessment process to monitor student learning and adjust instruction during a lesson or unit. Constructive quizzes will not only furnish teachers with feedback on their students, but they serve to help students evaluate their own learning. The process is outlined in the document below. By using quizzes to furnish students with immediate feedback, the teacher can quickly determine the status of each student in relation to the learning targets, and students can learn more during the discussions that immediately follow the quizzes, instead of having to wait until the next day to see the results of the assessment in the form of a meaningless grade on the top of a paper. The teacher should use the results of these quizzes to adjust instruction immediately based on student outcomes.

    Constructive Quizzes
    Quizzes are commonly used for formative assessments, but they are much more beneficial if students do not have to wait to receive feedback on their performance. To provide immediate feedback without the worry of students grading their own papers and changing answers or having students exchange their papers, use the following process. Have students fold their notebook paper in half vertically and number along the left margin and again in the middle. They take the multiple choice test and write their answers on the left half of the paper. They copy their answers to the right half and tear the halves apart before handing their quiz in to be graded.
    Name 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. D A C A D B B C D A 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. D A C A D B B C D A

    After all papers have been collected, the teacher can go over the answers to the quiz and students can readily score their own papers. In this way,

    students can see what they scored on the quiz, as well as contribute to a class discussion about why answers were right or wrong.
