This workshop helps new teachers use formative assessment as a powerful tool for student growth. We’ll explore how effective formative practices deliver timely, actionable feedback that helps students learn from mistakes and recognize progress. Participants will examine a range of techniques, from quick check-ins to structured tools, and learn to choose the right approach for different stages of learning. We’ll also consider how formative assessment fits within an ongoing cycle of instruction, feedback, and revision. By the end, you’ll have a practical toolkit to guide learning and build student confidence through meaningful assessment.

New teachers are often juggling curriculum expectations, classroom routines, student needs, and assessment demands all at once. Clear learning targets can make that work more manageable by helping teachers identify the purpose of a lesson, choose appropriate tasks, provide focused feedback, and help students understand what they are learning and why. In this session, participants will practice turning curriculum expectations into clear, student-friendly learning targets and consider how those targets can support planning, instruction, and assessment
