Review: The VISION for KEA and K-3 Formative Assessments
Three Key Points
- This K-3 formative assessment process occurs during instruction rather than as an isolated event apart from instruction.
- There are a variety of ways to learn about students during instruction
–observe students working
–ask probing questions
–listen to student thinking
–review student work
- Evidence is used to guide instruction:
–identifies what students know and are able to do and where to head next
–helps to plan and adjust instruction in an ongoing manner
–helps to meet the needs of all students
Required and Optional Constructs
- Cognitive Development: Object Counting
- Language Development and Communication: Book Orientation and Print Awareness
- All others are optional
- Local additional Constructs (Letter Naming, Following Directions, Fine Motor)
