Editor's Notes
- #13: Being aware of where formative assessment fits in to the teacher appraisal system can possibly help you score higher.
- #14: Notice there isn’t a dimension titled “Formative Assessment.” But, formative assessment can be accounted for. Where do you see it being included? [multiple correct answers]
- #21: [Zombie Queen font used - http://www.dafont.com/zombie-queen.font] Each group is given 10 minutes to discuss their favorite formative assessment apps/website and create a sales pitch for it. Their sales pitch has to tell the name of the tool and two different examples of how it could be used in the classroom (grade level, content area, etc.). Each group has 1-2 minutes to share with the whole group.
