We discuss what distinguishes formative assessment from other types of assessment, as well as common misconceptions. Glen shares fast, effective formative assessment tools, including Traffic Lights and Fist-to-Five. You’ll hear how teachers can use questioning opportunities to check on student progress during a lesson and provide them with feedback. Plus, learn creative ways to adapt summative assessments for quick formative feedback.
