In this session, educators will explore the key components of a high-quality Common Formative Assessment and walk through a practical process for designing and auditing assessments that truly measure what students are expected to learn. We will elaborate on the design of the assessments by identifying five attributes of effective formative assessment listed below.

• Learning Progressions. Learning progressions should clearly articulate the sub-goals of the ultimate learning goal.
• Learning Goals and Criteria for Success. Learning goals and criteria for success should be clearly identified and communicated to students.
• Descriptive Feedback. Students should be provided with evidence-based feedback that is linked to the intended instructional outcomes and criteria for success.
• Self- and Peer Assessment. Both self- and peer assessment are important for providing students an opportunity to think meta-cognitively about their learning.
• Collaboration. A classroom culture in which teachers and students are partners in learning should be established.
