Empowering Student Learning Through Formative Assessment

Effective use of formative assessment in the classroom not only helps shift responsibility for learning from the teacher to the student but provides opportunities for students to reflect on their own learning.

This workshop will provide practical examples to help you successfully incorporate the principles of formative assessment into your classroom practice.  Participants will learn how to co-create success criteria in their classroom. 

Participants will be introduced to strategies for successfully incorporating “teacher-led” formative assessment, peer-assessment and student self-assessment into their practice. Whenever formative assessment is used, student voice is activated.  This workshop will also reference how the use of formative assessment activates student voice by creating opportunities for students to express opinions as well as influence and participate more in their own learning.
