Where am I going?

Where am I now?

How can I close the gap?

Never collect information you are not going to use.  Ask focused pre-assessment questions that will reveal student’s readiness, interests and learning preferences as they relate to the unit’s goals. 

Group together all pre-assessment questions or activities about a particular understanding or skill.  This will allow you to easily and quickly work with preassessment results when you are planning.   

 Provide students with a checklist of your expectations for their summative work.  Require that they or a peer check their work against the list before submitting it for grading.
