NSTA Press Session: Uncovering Student Ideas—Promoting K–12 Student and Teacher Learning Through Formative Assessment

Friday, April 1 • 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM

George R. Brown Convention Center - 342C

STRAND: Promoting Effective Assessments in the STEM Classroom

Show Details

This session will introduce you to the use of "probing questions" that uncover how students (and teachers) think about concepts and phenomena for the purpose of informing instruction while simultaneously promoting conceptual learning. The new digital Google Classroom probes will also be introduced.

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Learn why it is important to start with students' (and teachers') initial ideas; 2. Examine specially designed questions called "probes" that reveal what students (and teachers) are really thinking about core ideas, (including answer choices that mirror commonly held ideas noted in the research literature), and the support material for using the probes effectively in pre- and post-assessment; and 3. Gain strategies for using the probes in K–12 inclusive classrooms as well as with teachers during professional learning.

SPEAKERS:
