Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning

Where am I going?
Strategy 1: Provide students with a clear and understandable vision of the learning target?
Strategy 2: Use examples and models of strong and weak work?

Where am I Now?
Strategy 3: Offer regular descriptive feedback during the learning.
Strategy 4: Teach students to self-assess and set goals for next steps

How Can I Close the Gap?

Strategy 5: Use evidence of student learning needs to determine next steps in teaching.
Strategy 6: Design focused instruction, followed by practice with feedback
Strategy 7: Provide students opportunities to track, reflect on, and share their learning
progress
