one of the most powerful means of challenging students to think of what they already know is by using a problematic scenario. Such a scenario is usually a complex, ill-structured situation that embeds within it significant curricular concepts that stimulates inquiry at the beginning of a unit and can be used as one of the summative assessments
Maree Whiteley's insight:
"Designed as summative assessments, these scenarios serve as diagnostics at the commencement of a unit and they empower students when we use some of their questions to supplement our own lines of inquiry. Problematic scenarios can, therefore, serve as pre-assessments of students’ prior knowledge through the kinds of number of questions they ask" John Barell (morecuriousminds.com)

Here are some techniques that can help to master assessments. There are many types of assessments to use in different situations."

Maree Whiteley's insight:
Some great reading here..."The Floorbook approach for assessment and planning is now being used extensively in Australia and the UK with children from birth to eleven years. Floorbooks are working documents that celebrate the process of learning in a child centred way. So when it comes to assessment outside the first elements to consider are; What are you assessing? Who are you assessing for? and What will you do with it when it is done?"

Hi all,
Maree Whiteley's insight:
Note the definition I'm using at the beginning of the presentation: A formative assessment or assignment is a tool teachers use to give feedback to students and/or guide their instruction. It is not included in a student grade, nor should it be used to judge a teacher's performance. Both of these would be considered summative assessments.

An ELL teacher encourages her students to think critically by using visual notetaking in class, a technique that allows them to synthesize what they are learning in a creative and fun way. Visual notetaking was making me think differently. But shouldn’t my students be experiencing that cognitive stretch, too? Here’s my advice on how to scaffold this, helping students use quick sketches to synthesize and summarize: While reading together, stop at predetermined places and briefly discusshow you could visualize that part of the story or passage. Yes, it’s merely a simple twist on "what just happened?"—a time to gauge comprehension.
Maree Whiteley's insight:
My students enjoyed using a visual diary/journal whenever we started a new topic. As an 'informal' assessment tool, it became an opportunity to incorporate discussion etiquette, build on others’ ideas, and draw conclusions.
