Formative Assessment to Empower and Engage Learners

Ongoing formative assessment has the potential to significantly impact student learning if used effectively. To maximize the impact of this practice, educators should be sure to: 1) clarify specific and measurable learning outcomes, 2) ensure that students have clarity regarding these outcomes, 3) align assessments with these outcomes, and 4) use the results of these assessments to inform teaching and learning.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the importance of clarity in the classroom
  • Develop assessments that align with specific and measurable objectives
  • Analyze formative assessment to plan responsive instruction

Target Audience: Primary/Secondary School/JC/MI Teachers and Key Personnel
