LC Geography - Formative Assessment in the LC Geography Classroom - 25LCAU75 (Facilitator Lee O'Donnell)

Overview - How can we move beyond “Do you understand?” and instead really know what our students know?
In this webinar, Lee O’Donnell will share tried and tested strategies for embedding formative assessment throughout a learning sequence. Drawing on his experience as a teacher, lecturer, and author, Lee will walk you through explicit examples of how to:

• Check for understanding at multiple points in a lesson.
• Use techniques such as mini-whiteboards, cold calling, and retrieval practice to gather reliable data on student learning.
• Standardise and streamline your classroom routines to make assessment more efficient.
• Act on the information gathered to adjust teaching and strengthen student understanding.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your questioning, make better use of classroom data, or simply ensure more of your students are doing the cognitive work, this webinar will give you practical tools to take away and use immediately.
