Rick Wormeli on Formative Assessment

"Can [students] learn without formative assessment and the feedback that comes from it? Not at all."
In this video, Wormeli, author of Differentiation, Summarization in Any Subject, and Fair is Not Always Equal, elaborates on the prime importance of formative assessment in the classroom.

Things I took away from the video:
  • a teacher can always make a summative assessment formative
  • best formative assessment comes with descriptive feedback
  • teachers spend too much time creating summative assessments instead of formative assessments
