Assessment for Learning (Formative)
Formative assessment provides opportunities
for students to receive feedback. Formative
feedback is used solely to help students
improve their performance.
A number of tools have been provided to support
students with this critical challenge and in
learning to give and receive feedback on their
work in progress. Select the tools that you
feel will best support student learning, based
on the needs of your students and their experience
with self and peer reflection.
Students can use the Peer Coaching
Feedback: Feedback on my Analysis (Assessment)
to reflect on their work in progress and
make any necessary adjustments prior to
submitting work for marking.
Students can use the Student Self-reflection:
My Visual Essay (Assessment)
to reflect on their work in progress and
make any necessary adjustments prior to
submitting work for marking.
Students can use the Student Self-reflection:
Communicating Effectively in a Visual Essay (Assessment)
to reflect on their work in progress and
make any necessary adjustments before submitting
work for marking.
Assessment of Learning (Summative)
Summative assessment takes place after instruction
and after students have had a chance to practise
and receive specific, descriptive feedback
on their work. Summative assessment provides
an opportunity for students to demonstrate
what they know and can do.
Use the Rubric for Lessons from
the Past (Assessment) to evaluate
student performance on the various criteria
of the task.
