Formative Assessment which I frequently Use in My Teaching Practice

Includes Peer and Self-assessment:

• Clarifying Questions – understanding of students’ thinking and clarifying misconceptions.

• One-to-one frequent verbal feedback.

• Positive comments on what has been done and advice what can still be improve

• “Exit Chat” – the favorite parts, the challenges and overall feelings about the project.

• Short Question – as I was walking around the tables I asked simple questions.

• Rotate Groups – students work at stations completing every part of the project.

• Chatting freely with my students as they got down to work on their art.

• Self-assessment: students had to make sure they completed all the steps before handing in their projects;also as a part of the rubric.

• Create something that includes specific elements of art and design that we have discussed before

– good way of checking if the students can apply the previous knowledge.

• “Talk to each other” – as a recap and sharing the lesson’s experience.

• “Be the teacher” – explain to the class if you know how to construct this image.

• “Group Work” – share ideas and inspire each other, “Make prediction” – especially before performing demos.

• Sketch-books, portfolios and artistic critiques as documenting the progress and sharing ideas within the classroom's community.
