2017 World Educational Leaders Summit - Formative Assessment - Dr Marcia Tate

Formative Assessment - Dr Marcia Tate


Marcia Tate’s website here
If you wait until you have planned your lesson to decide how you will assess it, you have waited too late! Once you have decided what you want students to know and be able to do, the second question becomes How will I know when they can do it?
This highly-engaging keynote deals with effective questioning and assessing those products and performances that tell us whether students are really learning.  It also delineates four ways that students can knock the top off any test!  This keynote has been called informative, practical, and a great deal of fun!
This will be the highlight of the week, formative assessment, following a big lunch and Sir Ken Robinson. I only hope she does something special! The eyes glaze over. TEGO
How do we know they are learning? - Her big question.


See her book above.
Youtube clip here  “Worksheets don’t grow Dendrites.”
Students see assessment results visibly , no other way.
How do we know they are learning - see Page 52 of your handout. Key are higher order thinking questions. Bloom’s Taxonomy. She gave us the task to create questioning in evaluating and creating areas.
Ask higher order questions.
Page 54 - we were asked to work together to come up with:
a)- list 5-7 products of how students can present work in your fine school. Eg. books, reports blog, drawing, essay, journal, model
b)- 5-7 performances - starts with verbs eg. sing a song, experiment, re-teach something, role-play, solve a problem, debate, etc
She gave example of music being a method to teach SKIN to YMCA. wphillips.com
Plenty of Sing along to science examples on this website.


CRI about Rubrics
  • Criteria or Dimensions
  • Rating Scale
  • Indicators


Involve students in the creation of rubrics if they are old enough.
See birthday party rubric on page 55 of handout. Remember the rubric.
Be SAD about rubrics
  • Specific
  • Attainable
  • Defendable


See her sample rubrics in the handout.
Rubistar4teachers.org Useful website for establishing rubrics.


Four ways to assess
  1. Teach tested objectives
  2. Deliver instructions using brain compatible strategies. - See lesson plans in your handout. Page 57 - 20 strategies
  1. Familiarise students with the test vocab and format.
  2. Give students the confidence that they will achieve.

Brain research shows that writing long-hand is far more effective for remembering material than typing.


Finished with story of her son who now works in military.

SMILE - Show Me I’m Loved Every day

 My reflections: How many of the 20 Brain Compatible Strategies are we seeing used in our classrooms?
How is higher order questioning being deliberately planned into our lessons/inquiries?

Mana Enhancement Project - PD led by Steve and James

Mana Enhancement Model A tool for Positive Behaviour Management Uses narrative and stories of Māori creation to understand the student's mana and to feed into the strengths of students.   Maui is a key figure.  Mana is central in the model. See more information below about Mana Enhancement from Steve's slideshow Papatuanuku (earth mother) - what nurtures, calms, sustains us When asking the children about the aspects of papatuanuku, listen without judgement. Ranginui (sky father) - how we respond to life's challenges My reflections - This is a useful model to help students better understand their own emotions and how to self regulate.  How could this be part of our wellbeing model and be utilised within our existing pastoral care model.    One on one mentoring with key students - using the model to support students with their individual behaviour goals. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o-aC1IideJtMCVXTbokYBtMfCQR3pbbhWhpTOpWzhb0...
