​"Formative assessment is not a one-time event, but a continuous process that empowers students to take charge of their learning journey." - John Hattie

Deliver your content using Quizizz Lessons and intentionally include questions that let you know if students really "got it". Every student answers, not just the fastest! This data, in real time, will inform your next teacher move.

​Intentional Questions 🙋🏽‍♀️

Thought Starters

"Formative assessment puts the focus squarely on the students and their learning, allowing teachers to understand where their students are in their understanding, where they need to go, and how to get them there." - Paul Black

Use the data from the Reports tab to determine student grouping for the next learning activity -- 💡 Idea: group students by "most missed question" for a follow-up activity or deep dive on that skill. You can also let students choose their own learning based on the immediate feedback they received!

Data-Driven Moves 📊

Thought Starters

​"Formative assessment is the bridge between teaching and learning; it is the process by which teachers gather evidence of student learning to adjust their instruction and improve student outcomes." - Dylan Wiliam

Have students join your instructor-paced quiz and guide them to question 1, "I used to think". Instruct them to not close the quiz tab. Now -- teach...then at the end of class, move the class to question 2, "now I think". 💡 Idea: You can also embed these two questions at the beginning and end of a Quizizz Lesson if you are teaching with Lessons.

Time to Think 🤔

Thought Starters

"Formative assessment is not about labeling students; it's about labeling the learning. It's not about what students know, but about what they still need to learn and how to get there." - Margaret Heritage

​👀 Learn about the different ways you can assign a Quizizz activity!

Use the open-ended question type and the question timer set to one minute for a "one-minute write-up" exit or entrance ticket. Don't reinvent the wheel -- create this once, don't put anything topic-specific on it and simply re-use it over and over.

In one minute...⏰

"Formative assessment is not a one-time event; it's an ongoing process that fosters a culture of growth and improvement in the classroom, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential." - Harry Wong

Use a flex graded question type like audio or video to hear students explain what they know about the topic in a set amount of time. These authentic responses will help you determine who can use some intervention and remediation.
