E. Mitchell's Evaluate 1.1.1 – Formative Assessment Quest

How might a teacher employ ways to assess student readiness for course content and method of delivery? To demonstrate this, create a formative assessment in a demo course you are creating. Post a link to the assessment in your blog.

When I first started teaching at GaVS, the AP Psych course was really lacking in formative assessments.  The course really entailed just reading quizzes and papers.  When I redesigned the course, I wanted to incorporate two assignments per unit that ensure students were exposed to certain College Board standards as well as at least one discussion.  Additionally, each unit has a multiple choice as well as written assessment.  One of my favorite assignments has the students work collaboratively to create a pre-school. Their website must be designed as they would advertise to parents about potential students.  They are required to incorporate the contributions of major unit theorists by creating unique activities that would entice a parent to enroll their student.  It is awesome to see what they come up with because many of the activities match what my children do in pre-k!
