I’ve seen teachers do a great job identifying and creating formative assessments However, the learning does not take place in that moment nor does it end with the collection of student work. Formative assessment is a process that begins with the collection of student work but is dependent on how teachers analyze it to plan next steps and include students in revising, rethinking, clarifying and questions their work and learning as a result.
This scenario is the opening activity of a professional learning program on student questioning. Unlike most professional learning, the students participated in the process alongside their teachers. While the heart of all professional learning is student learning, most target teachers’ actions and on the occasion that they focus on what students are doing, students are rarely invited into the conversation.
