The document defines formative assessment as a deliberate process used by teachers and students during instruction to provide feedback and adjust teaching and learning strategies. It describes the formative assessment process as having four steps: clarify the intended learning, elicit evidence of student learning, interpret the evidence, and act on it to adjust instruction. The document provides examples of formative assessment activities and discusses research supporting its benefits, such as doubling student learning speed. It introduces the Smarter Balanced Assessment System and its digital library of instructional and professional development resources aligned with common standards and the formative process.

- 7. The Formative Assessment Process Clarify Intended Learning Elicit Evidenc e Act on Evidence Interpret Evidence Teacher, Peers, or Student Identify: • Learning Goal vs. Success Criteria: • Gap between the goal and criteria? • Misunderstanding? • Procedural error? • Lack of skill(s)? Do I need to adjust instruction?
- 8. Planning for Instruction Formative Assessment is a deliberate process. Once educators and students have had a chance to interpret results of gathering evidence, what should happen next? Clarify Intended Learning Elicit Evidence Act on Evidence Interpret Evidence
- 9. Formative assessment involves multiple activities, not just the administration of a single test. One of those activities is the use of assessments to elicit evidence regarding students’ understanding of and mastery of a given standard or concept.

- 10. • Learning Progressions should clearly articulate the sub- goals of the ultimate learning goal. • Learning Goals and Criteria for Success should be clearly identified and communicated to students. • Students should be provided with descriptive evidence- based feedback that is linked to the intended instructional outcomes and criteria for success. • Both self- and peer assessment are important for providing students an opportunity to think meta-cognitively about their learning. • A classroom culture in which teachers and students are collaborative partners in learning should be established.

- #4: Amber 2 min. – CLICK on GRAPHIC TO LAUNCH VIDEO Formative vs. Summative Assessment (44 seconds) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjmM1iN-m-E e Smarter Balanced definition, which is developed from, and aligns closely with, experts in Formative Assessment.
- #5: Beth 1 minute Facilitator Notes: Slides 8, 9 and 10 are meant as a review of day one’s elicitation of evidence. As the day goes, this is also referenced in referring to the Learning Goal and Success Criteria that are used in this presentation.
- #6: Beth 3 minutes - Check in with participants, how is it working in classrooms? Review lessons learned day 1, referencing chart created during day 1. Remind them that the day was set up with clarified learning goals and success criteria.

- #11: 5 min. H.6 Council of Chief State School Officers Dylan Wiliam, Popham, Shepard, Stiggins, Wiggens. This is the synthesis of the assessment gurus. There are five attributes that have been identified as critical features of effective formative assessment. H.7* can be used as background information for participants or put on AESD website as a place they can access our resources – the most critical information is on the slide * Refers to an optional Handout
- #12: Amber We tend to spend all our time thinking about/ focusing on the end product – the summative assessment. However, as stated by Dylan Wiliam, putting our teaching energy into the formative process will ensure summative assessment success.

- #16: Beth Educator Contribution: More than 1,300 educators (members of the State Network of Educators) from 22 states with diverse areas of expertise are populating the library. They are selecting or creating resources (professional learning and instructional) to submit into the Digital Library. These resources are also vetted by the educators with a Quality Criteria. There are 70 educators from Washington who contributed resources and 40 educators who continue as members of the State Network of Educators.
- #17: All PL resources are vetted with educators using these quality criteria.
- #18: All IR resources are vetted with educators using these quality criteria.
- #19: Beth 2 minutes: Give teachers a minute to read over the slide on their own. Explain that you’ll explain these three components in more detail today, and participants will have a chance to take a closer look at them.
- #20: Beth 2 minutes: Make a big deal out of what the DL is NOT. Teachers won’t find a bunch of random test items to choose from or be able to earn clock hours or credits. It’s not Teacher Pay Teacher where anyone can post something. Educators in SBAC states applied, were selected, and were trained as part of a State Network of Educators to submit and select materials for the DL. Every resource was reviewed by at least 3 people and had to meet rigorous criteria along with following copyright laws. Often, materials were returned to the submitter to be improved. Most resources submitted through this process have been posted for this initial launch of the DL, but there will be a procedure for submitting new resources in the future.
