He writes an equation and its solution on the blackboard and asks the class to vote on whether the solution is correct or incorrect. He chooses one student to explain why he or she thinks the solution is correct and one to explain why he or she thinks the solution is incorrect. After hearing both sides, the students vote again. Mr. McKimm makes a mental note of how many students appear to understand the problem. Does this illustrate an assessment being used for instructional feedback or for formative scores? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This form of assessment in my opinion would be for instructional feedback. I would take this information and base my group work on their responses. The students that were correct and understood the process would get work that would reinforce and stretch their understanding. One group would be set up with work to clarify and give practice to those that understood but was not as confident. The last group would be teacher led and that would be the one where we are able to work through where the disconnect lies.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: This is a situation where instructional feedback can be utilized for either reinforcement of the concept or reteaching of the concept where needed.
