--Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment, University College
"The On-Your-Feet Guide provides a great reminder of the 5 strategies for formative assessment. It is a great way to increase the impact on mathematics education in the classroom. It's a must-have to keep those strategies fresh in your mind. Too often we forget the key ideas from a book- this guide serves as a quick reminder of the key points."
--Kevin Dykema, 8th Grade Math Teacher, Mattawan, MI
The Formative 5 Book
NCTM Past President, Francis "Skip" Fennell, and nationally-recognized mathematics educators Beth McCord Kobett and Jonathan (Jon) Wray, offer five of the most impactful, proven assessment techniques--Observations, Interviews, "Show Me," Hinge Questions, and Exit Tasks-- you can implement, every day.
K-8 teachers of mathematics will learn to
- Focus on assessment for learning rather than assessment of learning
- Directly connect assessment to planning and in-the-moment instruction
- Implement effective classroom questioning, discussions, and learning tasks
- Provide success criteria and feedback that moves students forward
- Integrate the Standards for Mathematical Practice
- Activate student self-assessors who take ownership of their learning
Includes a book study guide, tools and templates, and a companion website with downloadables and multi-media examples of student discussion in the classroom. The Formative 5 will help you build your mathematics-related formative assessment capacity through daily use of these five key techniques.
