Instructional Practices that affect Student Achievement: What the Research Says Source: Marzano There is abundant research that supports the use of Formative Assessment in Activity 7: supporting student learning. John Hattie conducted over 800 meta-Analyses on 138 on various influences on student learning. Providing formative evaluation to students was the third highest influence on student learning. You will be provided with a reading from an important research student about the use of formative assessment. Please read these resources and discuss the questions on the following page with a table partner. Research Sources: Source 1: Visible Learning by John Hattie. Pages 173- 178 Source 2: Classroom Assessment and Grading by Robert J. Marzano. Pages 1-11. Source 3: Inside the Black Box by Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam. Pages 1-6. After reading your Research Source Material, please form groups of 3 and discuss the following questions with your team members. What are two or three key research findings that you found in the source? Why are these findings important? How can you use the findings in your practice of using formative assessments? How can we model the use of Most Formative Assessments? We can model the use of Most Formative Assessments by beginning with a Lesson Plan aligned to helping students demonstrate their understanding of learning targets that align with the Common Core Standards. We will begin this modeling process with a lesson entitled: Exponential Growth: How Long will it take for a bacterial colony to grow as big as the earth? Please review the copy of this lesson plan that is attached to this protocol.
