•  Good formative assessment is part of a planned activity. •   Good formative assessment means that you really know where you want students to be…what you want them to be able to do or know in the end. It is like the “check points” on a journey to make sure you are headed in the right direction. •   Relate this idea of what a teacher needs to know and be able to do to the idea of going to a doctor. Wouldn’t you want your doctor to be able to do those things listed above when you go for help? What about a sports coach? Can you modify this list to read “an athlete” to show that is probably what we want out of a good coach?
