Participants will acquire knowledge about formative assessment.

◼ “Formative assessment is a planned process in which assessment-elicited evidence of students’ status is used by teachers to adjust their ongoing instructional procedures or by students to adjust their current learning tactics.”

Popham, W., Transformative Assessment, 2008, p. 6

Participants will understand the difference between formative and summative assessment.

FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

◼ Pre-tests◼ Self-rating◼ Exit slips◼ Quick writes◼ Idea waves◼ Checkpoints◼ … and the Foldables ®

strategy you will learn today

SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

◼ State testing (MCA, Grad testing)

◼ District testing (MAP, Whole-to-Part)

◼ Classroom (final exams, end of course assessments, post-tests)

Participants will learn a formative assessment strategy.

Participants will learn folding, cutting, and gluing techniques.

Basic Folds

Hamburger(short sides together)

Hot Dog(long sides together)

Taco(fold on diagonal toform a right triangle)

Shutterfold(Drive-through window)

(fold sides to meet in middle)

Basic Cuts

▪ Shaving edges

▪Notch and cut

▪ Templates

▪ cut on solid lines only as indicated

▪ take care not to cut off anchor tab

Templates

Gluing Tips

▪Apply glue to Foldable® that is being attached▪ Thin line

▪ Dot and spread

▪ Small glue bottles (1.25oz) available on-line▪ Reinforce with duct tape

Participants will create a sample Envelope Graphic OrganizerTM.

▪ Preparing envelope: (part 1)▪ Close metal clasp along top edge (DO NOT GLUE SHUT)

▪ Shave opposite short edge (check by putting hand inside from bottom)

▪ Place envelope clasp side up, with clasp to the right, shaved short edge to the left

▪ Hamburger fold, clasp inside (match shaved bottom edge to closed top edge)

Participants will create a sample Envelope Graphic OrganizerTM.

▪ Preparing envelope (Part 2):▪ Open like a book, with shaved short edge to the left.

▪ From shaved short edge, shave the top and bottom of the left section ONLY TO THE FOLD (this creates two pages)

▪ Open so only one page is to the left, everything else is to the right

▪ Apply thin line/dots of glue along fold just inside right side

Participants will learn how to create Foldables® using templates and plain paper.

1-section (Today’s Tweet) (template) ▪ Summarize day’s lesson in 140-characters

2-section (A Powerful Connection) (template) ▪ Learning intention on left; application, personal

connection on right

2-section (Shutterfold) (plain paper) ▪ Contractions

Participants will learn how to create Foldables® using templates and plain paper.

3-section (Pyramid) (plain paper)▪ Perimeter, Area, Volume

3-section (Venn diagram) (template) ▪ Compare/Contrast
