This task asks you to identify the formative and summative assessment strategies
used during a week. As part of this task, you are required to implement a new
formative assessment strategy, provide evidence of implementation and reflect on
the impact.
What are the components of a learning outcome/instructional objective?
“An effective learning objective should include the following 5 elements: who, will do,
how much or how well, of what, by when.” (Chatterjee and Corral, 2017). Moreover,
through my educational journey I learned that learning outcomes should be SMART:
Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic and Timetable.

objective. The Journal of Education in Perioperative Medicine, 19(4), 57-87.
List the assessment strategies used for English, Math and Science in 1 week.
Subject: Language
Learning Objective: Can I write a character description using adjectives?
Formative assessment strategy: The students had to draw their own
character and label it with descriptions. This is to assess their ability to use adjectives to
describe the character features. Then they will use this drawing and transfer to a piece of
writing.
Formative assessment strategy explained: the teacher gave each student
a picture of a character and they label it as a class. Then, he told them that each one of
them must draw his/her own character and then describe it. He emphasised on them to
use appropriate adjectives that matches their drawing. After that, they had to self and pair
reflect on each other work using the criteria table. Finally, he highlighted the things that
he liked by green and the area of development by pink and add some notes.
Subject: Math
Learning Objective: Can I compare 4-digit numbers using the sign <, >, =.
Formative assessment strategy: the students had to compare 4-digits
numbers using the signs. They had to copy the questions from the board into their
notebooks. (some of them were giving the ten blocks and other materials to help them).
Formative assessment strategy explained: this assessment has been
done at the end of the week after they have done comparison between 2, 3, and 4-didgits
numbers. The needed to check that the majority are able to compare numbers, and they
understand the place value. Before, moving to the next lesson which is “rounding”. The
students got green and pink feedbacks on their work. The week after, they have gone
through the feedbacks and corrected their mistakes. As a sign of their correction and that
they read the feedback, they had to write the entails of their names next to the feedback.
Subject: General (Math, Science, and Language).
Learning Objective: Can I extend my learning of what I learned through the week
and practice the skills further?
Formative assessment strategy: This is a home learning journal; the
students must practice and research certain topics for each subject. Also, they had to
choose two extra activities from the list to be done within the week.
Formative assessment strategy explained: This learning journal is
considered as both review and extension of the students learning. At the beginning of the
year, the teacher goes through an example with them and tell them what they have to do.
Then every Thursday, the teacher assistant has to stick a journal in every notebook and
give it the students. They have a full week to work on it and they can bring it any time
they finish before then end of the week, to be checked by the teacher.
