course we spend much time in peer reviewing probably 70 of class time in a formative assessment process today the students had their 6th peer review on the same essay and we are just up to doing three body paragraphs i asked my students to do a questionnaire on the process we use about 15 said that they did not peer review in their high school english classes of those they did peer review they stated that peer review focused on grammar spelling and punctuation as one student said of our process we focus on changing idea most students 80 had not had more than one peer review their writing so far we have had 6 different peers react to their writing as one student mentioned you get a different view and different aspects about your paper from other people and you receive others opinions using the same format you used to write it my goal is simple for students to constantly improve in their writing formative assessment which focuses on monitoring and giving feedback continually through the process enables students to improve in each aspect of their writing starting at the pre writing phase a more thorough description of this process is found in my successful student writing

accountability achievement average class class average data final foreign language formative assessment gain increase posttest pretest spanish success test analysis writing i give a pre test and a post test in my spanish course from the pre test i can measure the students incoming knowledge from the post test i measure their departing knowledge more importantly i analyze the results of each unit test by the various categories on the test if many students do poorly on a certain section i reteach it the next semester i start out that particular point with the reteaching material i also do many formative assessments so that i can give students new strategies to do better this semester my students did an average of 12 points better than last semester s students i have analyzed the final to see the area in which they lost the most points writing mini compositions and have begun to figure out ways to help them we will do more writing in class and on our class wiki i will focus on the verb forms to tell a story such as what i did last weekend i will have them write out their weekend in a chronological order and make sure that they use a different verb in each sentence we will do mini writings over several class periods for the final they do not need complicated sentences they just need simple sentences that communicate different ideas my goal is to increase this coming semester s average by 10 points over last semester by how much will you increase your class average this coming year my book formative assessment responding to your students is available through eye on education also my book successful student writing through formative assessment is available through eye on education why do students final grades not reflect their highest achievements published june 15 2011 accountability achievement assess assessment final grade gradebook learn spreadsheet student 2 comments tags accountability achieve achievement average final formative assessment grade gradebook learn score student success many teachers calculate the students final grade by having a grading program or spreadsheet average the four quarters and the final however this averaged grade does not represent the students highest learning for example if a student had a 70 75 80 85 for each of the four quarters and 90 on the final that average with equal weighting is 80 this grade does not represent the students achievement which was a 90 why do we not award students their highest grade as their final grade as in formative assessment a future lawyer can take the bar exam as many times as possible when the future lawyer passes the law association accepts that passing it does not average in previous failures think of the number of young people who take their drivers test several times when they pass they pass the department of motor vehicles does not average in the past failures if they did many young people would never pass the drivers test a writer submits a manuscript to a publishing house and the publishing house rejects it gives it an f does the next publishing house refuse it since the manuscript had already been rejected somewhere else when will educators not penalize students for previous efforts when will educators reward student achievement instead of minimizing the achievement how do you grade students for their final grade my book

assessment formative feedback forward growth higher level thinking learn learner life long lifelong meaning self self assessment leave a comment tags 21st century achievement assess assessment assessment for learning evaluate formative formative assessment growth life long monitor self self assessment i am painfully aware that helping students to be able to self assess is a slow task on the other hand i realize how critical this skill is as a lifelong skill unless students can self assess they will not be able to improve on their own i certainly do not want my students dependent on me for the rest of their lives to make sure that they are correct i want them to be able to determine for themselves what they are doing and how well it helps them to get to their desired goal they should be empowered to make their own decisions about the things they do they do need our help in developing from very structured self assessments right or wrong for lower level answers to evaluating their decisions without any given criteria students need to transition through this process formative assessment provides a wonderful stepping stone to self assessment as students learn to assess others they learn what is important about the learning how that learning can be demonstrated and how to identify and implement formative feedback they develop the skill to objectively look at their own work they understand that they have the techniques to improve as one of my english students said i m learning to look at my own paper as i do when i peer review another student s paper how do you help your students to be able to self assess do you use formative assessment as a stepping stone my book formative assessment responding to your students is available through eye on education also my
