Our learning Intention
To be able to apply formative assessment in the Home Economics classroom.Our success criteriaWe can
● Distinguish between learning outcome and learning intention● Identify how to create learning intentions● Develop methods to co-create success criteria● Explore alternative active teaching methodologies for
remote learning.
Formative Assessment
NCCA - Focus on Learning
Formative Assessment
Where the learner is
going
Where the learner is How to get there
Teacher
Peer
Learner
Engineering effective
discussions, tasks, and
activities that elicit evidence of
learning
Clarifying,
sharing and
understanding
learning
intentions
Providing feedback that
moves learners forward
Activating students as learning resources for one
another
Activating students as owners of their own learning
(Leahy et al, 2015)
Formative Assessment
Assessment for Learning (formative) is not an attack on assessment of learning (summative assessment). These are complementary approaches -it’s about getting the balance right.
It is the teacher who decides the balance and timing of formative and summative assessments;
(“Putting Assessment for Learning into Practice,” David Spendlove, 2009)
Formative Assessment TerminologyLearning outcomeLearning outcomes are statements in curriculum specifications to describe the knowledge, understanding, skills and values students should be able to demonstrate after a period of learning.
Learning intentionsA learning intention for a lesson or series of lessons is a statement, created by the teacher, that describes clearly what the teacher wants the students to know, understand, and be able to do as a result of specific learning and teaching activities. Clear learning intentions should help students focus not just on the task or activity taking place but on what they are learning.Learning intentions are always linked to one or more learning outcomes in the specification.
(NCCA, 2019)

Warm up questions: on the first slide of a presentation ask a few questions for students to complete while you are awaiting all students to join.

Strategies to determine prior knowledge
Flipgrid
Flipgrid is a website that allows teachers to pose questions or activities for students, in
which a student responds via a short video.
Responses can be 15 seconds to five minutes, and a maximum recording time can be
set.
Flipgrid is a way to gather student responses delivered at their own pace without feeling
"on the spot" in the classroom.
Feedback can be inputted for the student, success criteria/rubrics can also be created.

Low achievement is often the result of students failing to understand what teachers require of them.
(Black & Wiliam, 1998)
Formative Assessment
Learning Intention with Context Learning Intention - No context
1. Plan a balanced breakfast menu for two
1. Plan a nutritional menu for two
Learning Intentions
The context of learning is simply the actions, activities and/or tasks students will be doing to achieve the Learning Intention.
Separate the Learning Intention from the Context of Learning
Learning intention with context Learning Intention - No context & using a verb
How to bake a cake Write clear instructions
Four corner discussion on the statement,
‘student benefit should be reduced’
Present an argument for or against a
controversial proposition
(From Clarke, S. (2005) Formative Assessment in Action: Weaving the elements together)
If the learning intention is free of context it can illustrate to students that there are many reasons for learning the concept
Learning Intention
with Context
What students
thought they were
learning
Learning Intention
without Context
What students
thought they were
learning now
To write instructions
to make a sandwich
“I would learn how
to make a sandwich”
To write instructions “We would be
learning how to write
instructions”
Knowledge Learning Intention Possible skills linked to knowledge
Learning Intention
1. To explain the property of denaturation
1.Demonstrate a range of dishes illustrating the property.
2. Classify fatty acids 2. Examine and evaluate the nutritive value of foods. Analyse food labels.
Knowledge Learning Intentions
Clarified Learning Intentions
• Clear: focus on what will be learned in the lesson, as distinct from what students will do in the lesson
• Useful: focus is on concepts, skills or knowledge that is usedrather than focusing on imparting knowledge
• Can be transferable to a similar context

Success Criteria
Formative Assessment Terminology
Success criteria are linked to learning intentions and therefore to the learning outcomes. They are developed by the teacher and/or the student and describe what success looks like. They help the teacher and student to make judgements about the quality of student learning.
(NCCA, 2019)
Success Criteria can be:
a series of steps
sequence of instructions
a visual aide memoire
menu from which the students can choose - all, some, few (Differentiation)
questions
a list of remember to prompts
Strategies used by teachers to co-construct success criteria (Hattie & Clarke, 2019)
9 strategies used to co-construct success criteria
Showing excellent and different examples of the same skill
Demonstrating a skill and asking questions after every step
Showing good and bad examples of previous students work
Doing it wrong
Showing a wrong example Working through it with students
Retrospective co-construction Incomplete invitation
Jigsaw the pieces
Strategies to determine where students are in relation to the learning intention(s)
● Quizizz
● Formative
● Socrative
● Kahoot
● Active Learning Boards
● Polls/Forms
