Classroom Assessment: Minute by Minute, Day by Day

Three new things I learned

• That Paul Black and Dylan Williams found that students taught by teachers who used assessment in the classroom learned faster, six to seven months compared to a year.
  
• Five broad strategies and the different suggestions under each of the in-depth categories: i.e. Engineer Effective Classroom Discussion-use of dry erase boards.
• The hinge question-the question asked midway through the unit or lesson to gauge where the students are.

Two Things I could use in the classroom

• I would use the different techniques applied in Engineer Effective Classroom Discussion to gauge my students and to also involve all of my students.
• Implore the Provide Feedback That Moves Learners Forward by giving feedback but no grades.

One thing I would like to learn more about

1. The feedback instead of grades idea. At the end of that section it states that the teacher had to have permission to do that, but I did not understand why.
