The One Pager Quiz: A Formative Assessment Walkthrough [S5 E180]

Listen to the full episode below:

We understand the importance (and challenge) of finding engaging and effective ways to assess student learning. That’s why we created a F-R–E-E masterclass that walks you through three formative assessments that will change the way you teach reading.

In this episode, you’ll hear a snipper of this masterclass, which focuses on the one pager quiz. Generally in the world of ELA, one pagers are thought of as a summative assessment. But in this training, we share how to use them as formative assessments.

One pager quizzes are just one of the changes that we’ve made in our classrooms that have positively impacted the way that our students interact with the content. You can check out the full free masterclass, Down With the Reading Quiz, here!

When you sign up for the masterclass, you’ll be sent a link right away to watch the training on your own time. You’ll also receive a workbook that you can print and take notes on. Be sure to share this episode and this masterclass with your teacher friends!
