Module 9: Closing Opportunity Gaps
This module offers examples of how to use the “Formative Assessment Moves” framework at the classroom or school-level to support teachers who aim at closing opportunity gaps in linguistically, culturally, and economically diverse classrooms. We offer templates for integrating Formative Assessment Moves into inquiry-based lesson plans and we describe how to use video-based, formative assessment-driven lesson study to connect PLC work that connects deeper learning and equity to real-time instruction in a positive, caring, and thoughtful classroom learning environment.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- A 20-25 minute video explaining Formative Assessment Moves
- Video clip(s) of formative assessment moves in action in authentic classroom settings
- Checks for understanding and a Glossary to help you clarify content
- A PDF of References
