Teachers, do you feel like you are constantly collecting student work but you are left feeling uncertain at times if they are learning what you intended for the lesson? Do you find yourself implementing formative assessment strategies but not sure why they are not working for your classroom? Are your students not becoming critical, independent thinkers? In this session, we will explore how we can increase clarity between aligning what we collect from students during the formative assessment process and what we want for our students' depth of learning as a result. Using Bloom's Taxonomy framework, we will use classroom examples to dissect the alignment between a selected learning standard, the activities students experience, and the assessments to collect evidence for the desired learning standard. Further, we will examine how to support higher levels of cognition using Bloom's application, analysis, and critiquing students' own learning. Participants will walk away with a critical eye for evaluating the alignment between learning goals, instructional activities, and assessment.
