How to effectively measure your students’ Understanding

September 5, 2024 By Rachel Ashworth1 Min Read

One of an educator’s primary roles is to assess a student’s grasp of learning objectives and understand how they construct meaning and demonstrate their understanding of the concepts being taught. 

Formative assessment is one tool educators often pull from their kits to measure understanding but can be time-consuming to prepare and administer and lack dimension around a student’s mental transformations. 

Ideal formative assessment (for 30 students):

4.25 hrs per class

Prepare

15 min

Administer

30 min

Review


1 min per student

Have a 1:1 convo

5 min per student

Synthesize and
plan next steps

30 min

Typical formative assessment (for 30 students):

Typical formative assessment, while providing numerous insights, is often impractical due to the excessive time required to synthesize the data, develop tailored plans, and effectively reach each student.

1.3 hrs per class

Prepare

15 min

Administer

5 min

Review


1 min per student

Synthesize and
plan next steps

30 min

One drawback of an exit ticket is that students are not as candid or expansive as they can be when talking out loud, so it’s not 100% clear they achieved mastery.

14 min per class

Prepare

2 min

Administer

Synthesize and
