Day 22: Coaching Formative AssessmentsEvery day in the classroom offers a chance to see what students know—and what still needs to be clarified. For instructional coaches and administrators, the goal isn’t just to collect this information but to help teachers make formative assessment part of their daily rhythm.
AI makes this easier than ever. With just a few prompts, teachers can create entrance tickets, small-group quick checks, or exit tickets that reveal how well students understood the day’s learning target. By embedding these tools into instruction, coaches help teachers move beyond grading to focus on growth, reflection, and responsive teaching. When formative data becomes part of the routine, it transforms instruction from reactive to proactive. Students begin to take ownership of their learning, teachers see trends in real time, and leaders can guide data discussions that feel purposeful and supportive—not overwhelming. Daily Challenge: Model the Power of Formative AI 1️⃣ Choose a Focus → Select one formative strategy to model: bell ringer, exit ticket, or small-group quick check. 2️⃣ Explore an AI Tool → Try Brisk, SchoolAI, Conker, Curipod, QuestionWell, or Khanmigo to generate a quick assessment in under five minutes. 3️⃣ Test + Reflect → Use the tool in a lesson or PLC and ask: “How quickly can we see who got it—and who needs reteaching?” 4️⃣ Coach the Connection → Show teachers how formative data fuels small-group planning and helps students take ownership of their learning. |
