A formative assessment “often means
no more than that the assessment is
carried out frequently and is planned at
the same time as teaching.”
(Black and Wiliam, 1999)
• Spiral Back
▫ Deliberate Review after every assessment
▫ Measurable in order to help identify gaps
• Streamline Curriculum
▫ What is most important?
▫ Focused Review
▫ ie. Less review of 6th grade material
▫ Accelerated Curriculum
• Test taking strategies –Common Language
• Teacher Commitment
Every Day Math
◦ Additional time on subject
Students identified by teacher recommendation or testing data
Creative scheduling options
Flexible placement
◦ Focused on Math 7, Math 8, and Alg. 1
◦ Remediation and Differentiation Available
Alternative assessments
Strategies
◦ Extra positive time with teachers and Math
◦ Increased time on subject for identified students
• Use of IXL
▫ PTA sponsored student math program
▫ Additional practice and intervention
• Interactive Achievement
▫ Assessment engine used to create benchmarks and
diagnostics.
▫ Data can be used to focus remediation and instruction
• Extracurricular Activities
▫ AMC 8
▫ Math Counts
▫ IXL Lab
Identify students in need of additional support or
enrichment. Connect these students to appropriate
interventions. Monitor the results.
Increase the use of formative assessment.
Increase the rigor of our assessments.
