By Thursday you will be prepared to confidently, effectively and resiliently manage, teach & inspire students in your first lessons Day Two
Is it safe to be here? Does it feel safe to learn here? (To take risks?) Do I feel calm? Do students feel calm? Would I want my child/my sibling to be in this classroom? Some questions
By the end of the session you will be prepared to design well- targeted assessments, use them efficiently & respond effectively. By Thursday you will be prepared to confidently, effectively and resiliently manage, teach & inspire students in your first lessons. Session objective: Session 4 - assessment
What is formative assessment?
Cutting things you love
I want students to know the parts of a flower Assessment I will know they can do this if they can label a diagram of a flower without help So In the lesson I will label a flower on the board, then students will dissect a flower setting out each piece Start thinking about objectives

FYSIK: Historiska och nutida upptäckter inom fysikområdet och hur de har formats av och format världsbilder. Upptäckternas betydelse för teknik, miljö, samhälle och människors levnadsvillkor. Heliocentric system, gravity & laws of motion, electromagnetism, relativity Effects of each one Setting objectives

Everyone got it right Image Credit: Ildar Sagdejev Ildar Sagdejev
Identify most common three mistakes and reteach those. Or reteach from the start. Everyone got it wrong
Split (seats or places) Some people got it right, some wrong
Dotmark, students rewrite/develop their answers

Exit ticket: 1) 5/7 + 3/7 =18 correct, 3 incorrect 2) 3/5 + 4/6 =9 correct, 12 incorrect Plan: Reteach blue students adding same denominator fractions for five minutes then they practice more. Greens help amber, then I teach all greens and ambers adding fractions with different denominators. Script your next move
MY PLAN:Reteach blue students adding same denominator fractions for five minutes then they practice more. Greens help amber, then I teach all greens and ambers adding fractions with different denominators. I WILL SAY: Thank you, the exit tickets are really going to help me help you more. If you have a blue mark, I’d like you to sit and work with me here. If you have an amber mark, I’d like you to pair up with someone with a green mark. Green mark people, try to spot the amber mark person’s mistake and explain it to them. Script your next move

Person A, give your directions to Person B. Person B, give feedback. Person A, repeat. Swap. Half the class got the answer wrong Possible feedback: Use this to explain a tricky concept Make your tone more positive/mastery-oriented Be more efficient

Wilson and Draney (2004) A hinge question in science 38 The ball sitting on the table is not moving. It is not moving because: A.no forces are pushing or pulling on the ball B.gravity is pulling down, but the table is in the way C.the table pushes up with the same force that gravity pulls down D.gravity is holding it onto the table E.there is a force inside the ball keeping it from rolling off the table
A hinge question (computing) with a twist
At a 'hinge' in the lesson. Multiple choice questions with 'distractors' based around student misconceptions (MCQ are hard!) Quick: - 1 minute for a student response (via mini-whiteboards, letter cards, fingers) - 15 seconds to interpret responses Teacher responds accordingly (proceeds, discusses, explains key point again, starts from scratch) So hinge questions are
