A1: Form. assessments like tchr questions, give Ss the opp. to share their thinking with the tchr as well as with their peers. It can help Ss understand their own thinking AND help the tchr to tailor the lesson in response to Ss understandings and misunderstandings! #NSTAchat

A2: Throughout the lesson! I use form. assessments, like Qs, to understand what the Ss know at the beginning, then to see how they are making sense of the phenomenon during, and near the end to assess their learning. #NSTAchat

A3: I love using sentence frames to help my students share their thinking. •I predict..because I have seen •I learned that..because I saw.. •My evidence to support my claim is.. •I agree with you because •I disagree with you because #NSTAchat

A5: I think FAs really help the Ss understand what they know/don't know. When Ss get a chance to revisit and revise their initial ideas/predictions/models, they are always amazed to see the evidence of their learning and growth! #NSTAchat

Twitter Chat: Read #4 in my S&C guest editorial. Formative assessment should NOT be graded. It is never fair to grade students on something they are still learning. Formative is formative, not summative! #NSTAChat
