Supporting Teachers Statewide in the Formative Assessment Process
Effective formative assessment practice requires teachers to have a range of knowledge and skills so that they can orchestrate an extraordinary number of complex judgments in the course of a lesson to continuously advance their students’ learning. Drawing from the Formative Assessment for Students and Teachers (FAST) State Collaborative on Assessment and Student Standards (SCASS) definition of formative assessment (FAST SCASS, 2017), Dr. Heritage considers the formative assessment knowledge and skills, the disciplinary knowledge, and the habits of practice that enable teachers to successfully implement formative assessment in their classrooms. A key challenge for teachers and those who support them is how to ensure that teachers have these requisite knowledge, skills, and habits of practice, so that they can take advantage of what we know can have powerful and beneficial effects on all students’ learning. In this regard, she also discusses the implications for in-service and pre-service educators and the organizations that represent them, and offers some specific recommendations for teachers’ professional learning.
