Learning Intentions 1. See dramatic research supporting formative assessment and feedback to improve student learning. 2. Experience the new steps of the CFA 2.0 design framework. 3. Focus on the importance of explicit learning intentions and student success criteria. 4. Learn how to use established guidelines to critique CFA questions for quality. 5. Create the missing links in collaborative CFA design: learning progressions and quick progress checks. Ainsworth. All rights reserved 2
5 DRAMATIC Dramatic Research Support RESULTS Professor John Hattie Professor of Education Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute University of Melbourne, Australia The research compiled information from across existing research studies: 800+ meta analyses 50,000+ studies 240+ million students Ainsworth.

6 Student Achievement Measuring Instructional Impact With Effect Size Any professional practice that can achieve a 0.40 effect size equates to approximately one year of growth in student learning. John Hattie, Visible Learning, 2009, pp. 2 3 Effect on student achievement over time One Year s Growth Decreased Zero Enhanced Visible Learning PLUS Ainsworth. All rights reserved 4
7 One Year s Growth 0.40 Decreased Zero 0.90 Source: Visible Learning PLUS FORMATIVE EVALUATION One of The Most Powerful Influences on Student Achievement Formative evaluation ranks fourth among all positive influences on student learning, producing an overall effect size of 0.90 equivalent to more than two years of student gains within a single academic school year. John Hattie, Visible Learning, 2009, p. 181 The Impact of Formative Assessments Five reviews synthesizing 4000 research studies conducted over 40 years Conclusion? When well implemented, formative assessments can effectively double the speed of student learning. Dylan Wiliam, Education Leadership, December 2007/January 2008, p. 36 Ainsworth. All rights reserved 5
8 Another Powerful Influence on Student Achievement The essence of formative interpretations is providing teachers with feedback from assessments about how they need to modify their teaching, and providing students with feedback so that they can learn how to self regulate and be motivated to engage in further learning. John Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers, 2012, p. 126 One Year s Growth 0.40 Decreased Zero 0.75 Enhanced Source: Visible Learning PLUS FEEDBACK Ainsworth. All rights reserved 6
9 The Effective Use of Feedback The effective use of feedback ranks tenth, with an effect size of 0.75 and a nearly similar result as formative evaluation almost two years of student growth in one academic school year. John Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers, 2012, p. 126 Grade and course level teacher teams collaboratively mine common formative assessment results in order to correctly interpret student learning needs and make instructional shifts to better meet those learning needs. New Research on Teachers Collective Efficacy Greater than all other influences on student achievement is teachers collective efficacy, showing an effect size of 1.57 equivalent to nearly four years of student gains within a single academic school year. John Hattie, Keynote Address at Visible Learning Conference, San Antonio, TX, July 13, 2015 Ainsworth. All rights reserved 7
10 Debrief and Discuss what What Implications Does This Research Have For Your Classroom or School? Prior Experience With CFAs None, Limited, Extensive? What are CFAs? Ainsworth. All rights reserved 8
11 Common formative assessments are aligned pre and post assessments within units of study that are collaboratively designed by a grade level or course level team and administered to students by each participating teacher throughout the year. CFAs assess student understanding of the particular learning intentions (standards or outcomes) that the grade level or course level educators are currently focusing on in a curricular unit of study. CFAs provide valuable feedback regarding what students currently know and what they yet need to learn with regard to the learning intentions for that unit. Ainsworth. All rights reserved 9

21 What Kind of Quality Control Checks Do You Use to Evaluate Your CFAs Now? Assessment Is Inference Making Teachers use test (results) in order to make inferences about their students cognitive status. Once those score based inferences have been made, the teacher then reaches instructional decisions based (at least in part) on those inferences. Educational assessment revolves around inference making. W. J. Popham, Test Better, Teach Better, 2003, p. 60 It s All About Inferences How can we make accurate inferences about what students understand? Inferences are only as good as the evidence we collect. The source of that evidence must be of high quality. Ainsworth. All rights reserved 19

All rights reserved 25
28 Missing Links Learning Progressions You must be able to assess each learning progression. If the learning progression seems too big, break it down into two smaller ones. If the learning progression seems too small, combine it with another small one. Limit the total number of learning progressions for each learning intention only to those that are essential for student understanding. Examples Ainsworth. All rights reserved 26

30 Assessment for Learning Assessments for learning happen while learning is still underway. These are the assessments that we conduct throughout teaching and learning to diagnose student needs, plan for next steps in instruction, provide students with feedback they can use to improve the quality of their work, and help students see and feel in control of their journey to success.

Planned in advance by the teacher team, quick progress checks provide immediate feedback to educators and students about students understanding of the learning progression and where to go next instructionally.
