These modules will be used to review and share new learning regarding our district strategy of ACL. We encourage you to complete these modules in your TBTs. Please contact Vaughn Ray or Tracey Dammeyer for more information.

Back in the Spring, we decided to pause on our new learning in regards to ACL while continuing to practice what we have already learned in our daily lessons. This includes designing learning targets and success criteria for our lessons, sharing our learning targets and success criteria with our students utilizing UDL principles, and using formative assessment to gauge student understanding of the learning target (and accompanying success criteria).

Today, we resume our ACL process by reviewing what we have learned by completing the module below with your teacher-based-team (TBT).

Before your TBT begins, talk through this question regarding ACL together: With what we have put into practice (in our daily lessons), what have we learned so far?

With this module, our purpose is to review formative assessment and take a deeper look at gauging student understanding of learning targets (1.3 of Practice Profile). Below are Deeper Dive, teacher videos, and a resource bank. These resources are also shared on our ACL Video Series Website and ACL HUB.

With this topic, we are looking for teachers to use formative assessment to gauge student understanding of learning targets. Review the learning target and success criteria for this topic by clicking on the form below. On the form, share your level of understanding of the learning target.

Before moving on, let's review some concepts on Formative Assessment. Watch My Favorite No. Be mindful of the following questions as you watch. As a group, share/discuss your answers.

1. How does the teacher use My Favorite No as a Formative Assessment?
2. What can you use from My Favorite No in your classroom?

Key Learning

• With this topic, our intention is for teachers to pause after sharing learning targets and success criteria (utilizing UDL principles) with their students. During this intentional pause, teachers offer a formative assessment to check the students' understanding of the learning target (and accompanying success criteria).
• If the students understand the learning target, teachers should move on with their lesson. If students do not understand, teachers should revisit the learning target and offer a follow-up opportunity that ensures student understanding.

Notes about these Formative Assessments:

• These formative assessments should be quick, informal, and offer the teacher a snapshot student understanding.
• Formative Assessment strategies and examples can be found here.

Before moving on, talk through the following question with your team: What are some quick, informal formative assessments that offer a snapshot of student understanding of the learning target (and accompanying success criteria)?

Below are teacher videos that showcase formative assessment strategies for gauging student understanding of learning targets. Also, there's a video that features conversations with students regarding this topic.

Watch the videos to learn more about how formative assessment can be used to gauge student understanding of learning targets.

Before moving on, talk through the following questions with your team:

• What are some key takeaways from the teacher video(s) that you watched?
• What is something that you can try in your next lesson?

Teachers can access this resource bank to add or review formative assessment strategies for gauging student understanding of learning targets. Feel free to add assessment strategies to this Bank! Using Formative Assessment to Gauge Student Understanding of Learning Targets Resource Bank

1. In your future lessons, continue to add formative assessments that gauge student understanding of learning targets (and accompanying success criteria).
2. Continue to revise your learning targets and success criteria to meet the needs of your students. With your TBT, you should be starting your second course.
3. Seek out your TBT for support. Share how things are going, what's working, not working, etc.
