Formative Assessment: Uncovering Student Excellence through Adaptive Teaching Methods

Lib 011, Library Building
February 26, 2013
13:00 - 14:00
Free

This presentation will discuss the benefits of integrating a formative assessment model in the classroom. As Ainsworth and Viegut (2006: 23) suggest, formative assessment helps instructors to "(1) determine what standards students already know and to what degree; (2) decide what minor modifications or major changes in instruction [we] need to make so that all students can succeed [...]; (3) create appropriate lessons and activities [...]; and (4) inform students about their current progress in order to help them set goals for improvement."

The goal of these assessments is to help students understand what is expected of them, chart their individual strengths and weaknesses in completing the given tasks, and then identify for themselves how they can improve. By discussing specific processes and assignments relating to formative assessment, this presentation provides numerous practical strategies to improve student success, instructor confidence and campus-wide accountability and collegiality.
