Assessment
A formative assessment method is used in all middle section classes. A formative assessment method is a form of low stakes evaluation that allows teachers to gauge students’ level of learning and comprehension in the classroom. Formative assessments allow teachers to understand students’ weak spots and help them to revise their teaching plans to accommodate for this. Formative assessments are not to be confused with summative assessments, which test information only once it has been taught (e.g., quizzes, midterms, finals). Examples of formative testing include:
Drawing a concept map in class to display their understanding and retention,
Submit one or two summary lines that identify the main point of a lecture,
Turn in drafts of essays for teacher approval and feedback, etc.
