I am in complete agreement with the statement in the presentation, "It is widely and empirically argued that formative assessment has the greatest impact on learning and achievement" (slide 7). I find this to be especially true in my classroom where summative assessments are rarely implemented, formative assessments are used daily, and student progress guides instruction. This provides me with the opportunity to continually respond and modify instruction.
I have found that in a classroom with only 4 students, where each is served by an IEP, I have very few reasons to compare my students to each other and except for the rare circumstances when I have to compare them to a typically developed peer, I often forget about all of the skills that they have not yet developed and only see their progress. This realization helps me to ignore everything but planning instruction that is student specific and suited to their individual needs.
