Everyone learns: Short-cycle formative assessment in Maths and English

Ballarat Clarendon College has constructed a carefully mapped curriculum that enhances student learning outcomes by integrating short-cycle formative assessment in each lesson. This approach, primarily grounded in the use of mini whiteboards, enables teachers to check for understanding in real time and ensure a high rate of mastery for students. Our aim in this presentation is to highlight the opportunities for short-cycle formative assessment in maths and English and to demonstrate the similarities as well as the variety of mini whiteboard uses in these diverse curriculum areas.
