Reorganizing Your Class for Formative Assessment
Let's face it we don't teach like that. We teach more like this-described by the British Council.
Picture a small room, partitioned with blackboards. These cubicles are your classrooms. Your school is in the Caribbean.
Five primary school head teachers from the London borough of Islington recently went on a study tour to Tobago and this is what they saw.
With no walls to divide the space and different lessons taking place at the same time, these classrooms are noisy and it can be difficult to concentrate. But this is normal and the children there are used to it.
In the Caribbean, we teach whole class and we like to teach homogenous groups-We can break free, however-Consider some examples for changing the way your organize your teaching and your physical classroom-
Use the examples and the models as a guide.
- Formative Assesment Requires Differentiated Instruction in the Mixed Ability Class
- You need to reorganize your class to allow you to spend time with students who need the formative feedback. Consider Learning Centres and Group Work instead of the standard arrangement of desks
