While formative assessment is a key part of knowing who their students are, Effective Educators go deeper. Even reading blog posts, articles in trade publications, books, or attending Edcamps, they want to constantly be examining their own practices, realizing opportunities for improvement and capitalizing on all that learning.

Then in the morning I went back and asked if I could lead a small group to talk about formative assessments and how we could use the clickers for that. Edcamps too, while not brand new, have offered teachers and other educational professionals the opportunity to craft PD that is meaningful to them and really take back their own learning.

Self-Assessment. Idea: Blogs as Digital Portfolios are an opportunity to not only showcase learning, but an opportunity to take time to reflect and grow from the process. I have collected and developed resources on both “how” to create a digital portfolio, and the power of learning through this type of self-assessment.
