Significant learnings about classroom

assessment.
Teachers can facilitate enhanced motivation for learning by
relying more heavily on formative assessment procedures.
According to Chappius and Stiggins (2002), teachers should:
• Pretest before a unit of study and make adjustments for
individual students or the entire class;
• Examine which students may need more assistance or practice;
• Continually revise instruction on the basis of ongoing
assessment results;
• Reflect on the effectiveness of their teaching;
• Convey to students their strengths and weaknesses in
particular areas;
• Facilitate peer-tutoring, matching students who demonstrate
understanding with those who are having difficulties; and
• Provide opportunities for students to assess their own learning
The ultimate
educational value of MI
Theory is that it
reminds educators to
use varied, multi-
modality instructional
and assessment tools
in their classrooms
