  Case: Not Enough Time in the Day
Mr. Johny often administers formative assessments to gain an understanding of what his students have learned and where they are in their learning processes, but can't find the time to analyze the data obtained from the assessments to effectively drive his instruction. His planning time is usually consumed with meetings and conferences. He also coaches basketball and doesn't get done with practice until 7:30. By the time he gets home, he is too tired to study data and determine where to go from that data. He feels that his planning time should be open for this. What could he do to become more effective?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One way is to go over the material in class and have students make their own assessments. This not only eliminates the time needed to grade the papers, but it also allows students to see their mistakes. Additionally, the assessments don't have to be paper and pencil. Students can complete digital assessments or a ticket out the door activity that provides feedback without the added task of grading a paper.

Comments: I like this solution because it not only benefits the teacher and his lack of time, but also lets the students see their mistakes and understand why they got it wrong. Students should be encouraged to engage in discussion. This also gives the students an extra look at the information.
