How do you know if students are with you at the beginning, middle, and end of a lesson? Can formative assessment offer a key to better teaching and learning during instruction? In this three-part series, participants will learn how to blend different formative assessment moves in the classroom, with intention and care for all students, to help make better instructional decisions. These sessions will explore the following seven research-based, high-leverage formative assessment moves: priming, posing, pausing, probing, bouncing, tagging, and binning.
