February 22, 2015 Here is another wonderful resource shared today by Edutopia titled “53 Ways to Check for Understanding”. This 2 pages PDF features a host of useful strategies to use for formative assessment in class. Formative assessment, as we have agreed elsewhere, is assessment for learning which is completely different from summative assessment, which is assessment of learning. The insights gained from formative assessments are usually used to decide on the next instructional steps and also inform teachers as to the additional opportunities needed to ensure students' success. Examples of formative assessment include: assigning projects and performances, giving writing assignments, and asking questions. Relevant: A Handy Chart Featuring The Difference between Formative and Summative Assessment Edutopia’s document that contains over 50 strategies to check for students understanding is available for free download from this link.

This scenario was a common occurrence in my classroom, but I stumbled upon a solution: formative assessment for elementary students.

BEST SELLER!! Does it seem like you give students the same generic compliments on their writing over and over? Do you struggle to find kind, supportive ways to suggest improvements? Have you given up on detailed feedback because it's just too time-consuming to provide? This document contains hundreds of comment suggestions to help you give meaningful feedback to students on their writing assignments. You can use these comments to help guide your conversations during writing workshop and writing conferences. Or, use them in your written feedback at the top of student work or on sticky notes. These comments can also be used to help describe student writing for portfolio assessments, progress reports, report cards, or in parent conferences. This 21 page PDF includes one set of the following for narrative writing assignments AND one slightly modified set for expository writing assignments: • General compliment phrases • General suggestion phrases • Specific compliments and suggestions on effort and overall writing progress • Specific compliments and suggestions for each of the 6 traits of writing: Ideas and Content, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency, and Conventions I used the 6 Traits model because it's a simple way to organize the types of feedback. However, you can use these comments with ANY writing system. *************************************************************************** See what other teachers are saying! Great product! Sometimes I feel that I am using the same comments for everyone. This will be my quick "cheat sheet" of comments. Thanks! - Sheila R S. This has so many things I wanted to say, but didn't know how to say them. Thanks. - Melinda S. Comments are for narrative and expository writing. This resource is well organized. Teachers can use this to arrange these comments based on success criteria to make it quicker to use. Very good product. Creative way with words. Thanks. - Melanie L.

I used this very often this weekend when grading writing and it saved me so much time! - Cassie W. Used them this year for the first time and found my writing conferences with the students more productive. - Sandra R. This packet contains clearly organized expressions to encourage, support, and celebrate writers in your classroom. It's a great buy! - Sharyn T. I have printed this out and keep it with me for my writing conferences. I am always struggling to give students meaningful feedback that is in kid friendly language. This product helped immensely! - Heather L. *************************************************************************** You might also like: A Stress-Free System for Generating Report-Card Comments in Half the Time!
