Student Engaged Assessment: How Formative Assessment Improves
Student Learning and Targets Instruction
How can formative assessment Improve student learning?
With the adoption of the CCLS and the implementation of APPR, teachers need to have methods for
more frequent, formative assessments before high-stakes testing. Helping students participate in the
formative assessment process promotes understanding and refines instruction. Participants will learn
about:
• A balanced approach to assessment
• Learning Targets as a method of connecting standards to student self-assessment and instruction
• Quick methods of checking for understanding during instruction
• Descriptive feedback through rubrics
• Development of student-engaged strategies in the EngageNY ELA curriculum for grades 3-8
• NYS Metrics and Expectations tools.
