Workshop 8. Learning To Listen

With Dr. Wynne Harlen. Formative assessment is a term that has gained prominence as teachers recognize the value of uncovering students’ thinking during the course of instruction. This information is then used to guide the development of lessons as well as provide feedback to students to assist them in their learning. In this workshop, you will see teachers encouraging students to ask questions, thus affording them the opportunity to test their ideas and restructure their own thinking.
